<div align="left"><img src="/files/ccVeVCIY99VgQkF8S3Mf" alt="Channel selection in the header navigation"></div>

You will find the channel selection in the [header bar](/docs/user-interface/the-header-bar.md) of the FactFinder NG user interface.

### Select a channel

Click the box and select the desired channel from the list that pops up. Channels that are currently being edited by other users have a corresponding note.

> Almost all functions and settings of FactFinder NG can be customized. These changes are only applied to the active channel, so that different channels can have different settings.

# Agent Instructions
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.fact-finder.com/docs/basic-settings/factfinder-ng-channels/switching-the-active-channel.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.
