# Task Sequence Templates

Instead of creating a task sequence from scratch, it is often useful to start from predefined templates.  DeployR includes a number of sample templates that can be used as a starting point that can then be customized for your specific needs.

The process for using a template:

* From the DeployR task sequence list in the StifleR Dashboard, click the "+ Add" button and choose "Add from template".\

* Choose from one of the available templates.  Click the "Open after creation" button to open the new task sequence, then click "Clone."
* Click "Edit mode" to edit the task sequence.  Make sure all task sequence steps (e.g. "Apply OS") point to the needed content items, then click "Save all changes."

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/1.2/reference/task-sequence-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
