# How to use your item in an activity

### Introduction

If you've already made your own items and want to use them in an activity, it's pretty easy here in CodeChum! 

### Steps

To use your own items when creating an activity in CodeChum, do the following:

1. Go to your class' Activities tab and click **Create Activity** on the top right of the class header. This will open a big popup window to create your activity.

2. When it's time to select your items to be used in this activity, click **"Find specific items"**  button. This will open another pop-up window.

## 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://help.codechum.com/teachers/more-features-you-may-want-to-explore/items-section/how-to-use-your-item-in-an-activity.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.
