This can be turned on or off #### How do i customise the Multicolumn with text block settings? By default, 3 blocks which are named as `Column` are preloaded when you add this section, a max of 8 blocks can be added. * **Image -** Upload an image, 1000x1000 pixels as a jpg is recomended for best results, to replace the placeholder image. * **Heading** - Add a strong call to action to introduce the section * **Caption** - Add extra information to explain your store, products or offers * **Link** - Connect your block content to any other page * **Button label** - If you enable 'Show button' a button will show on hover.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://erickson.gitbook.io/machina/sections/collection-grid.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
