## Explorer Subpanel

All components within the project are displayed in the list.

### Component Search

Search for components within the list to quickly filter based on the search criteria.

### Linked Component Indicator

For component designs that have been designed from or linked to a [Truss Envelope](/layout/how-to/truss-envelopes.md), this icon will appear next to the Component Name. It is possible to have component designs in a project that are not linked to a truss envelope in a layout.

### Component Filter

The Component Filter allows you to filter between linked and unlinked components. The filter only appears if there are both linked and unlinked components in the project.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip

If you'd like to delete all Unlinked components, use the filter to only display Unlinked components.

Multi-select components using Ctrl + Select, then press Delete.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://docs.paragontruss.com/layout/layout-overview-1/interface-overview/left-sidebar.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.
