### Make Your Own Outline Formatting

Recommendation for best SEO ranking is to use H1s and H3s. Indicate your headers in the following format -> \
h1: title \
h2: title \
h2: title \
h3: title

In the list view, you'll see what you've created and you can make sure the outline is registered properly.

### The Article Editor (After Article is Written)

View articles inside of projects. You can bulk select articles and you can send, delete, modify status, check for plagiarism, or check for AI. You can also modify the columns in your view to only see what you care about.&#x20;

The article generator takes your outline and settings and then writes a completely optimized blog article that is structured to rank in the world of SGE and beyond. By employing Semantic SEO strategies and Entity SEO best practices, CS AI creates some of the best SEO content on the market.

The Article editor has several features that are similar to existing on-page SEO tools.&#x20;

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://contentsprout-ai.gitbook.io/ai-content/articles.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
