# Settings / UI References

## :gear: Settings

The *HUD Navigation Canvas* is controlled by the settings of the [HUD Navigation System](/hud-navigation-system/hud-navigation-system/settings.md) component. This component is used to link/assign the different *UI References* to the system.

## :anchor: UI References

HNS needs to know, where to find the different UI elements inside your UI Canvas. Each feature needs specific UI elements to work properly, so make sure to correctly assign them.

{% hint style="info" %}
The most simply way to get started is to duplicate the canvas prefab and customize it to your needs. You'll find the prefab in the prefabs folder:\
\&#xNAN;*Sickscore Games* > *HUD Navigation System* > *Resources* > *Prefabs*.
{% endhint %}

## 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://sickscoregames.gitbook.io/hud-navigation-system/hud-navigation-canvas/settings-references.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.
