# Loading screen

## Overview

The Loading Screen feature enables the customization of the project's loading interface. This feature allows changing every aspect of the loading screen, including the background, preloader, and defining whether the project loads automatically or upon button interaction.<br>

## Play button

By default, projects load automatically. Disabling the **Autoplay** option will require end-users to initiate loading by pressing a play button.

* The play button can be customized using PNG, JPG, SVG, GIF, or Lottie formats.

## 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.vectary.com/documentation/project-settings/loading-screen.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.
