# Respond to an Issue Manually
Not all Detections support default responses, and even when a default response is available, you may need to adjust it for a single issue. In these situations, you can add additional responses at the issue level.
{% hint style="info" %}
Manual responses are only available for issues that don't support default responses. If the option to manually respond is not present on the issue, [update the default response](/getting-started/fundamentals/respond/configure-default-responses.md).
{% endhint %}
From an issue, choose responses on the right.
Choose a response in an issue
After the response is applied, the issue will resolve:
Resolved issue
When available in the issue, you can choose from the same options in the issue detail view as you would in a [default ](/getting-started/fundamentals/respond/configure-default-responses.md)response described here:

Other times, you'll need to update any responses at the [default detection level](/getting-started/fundamentals/respond/configure-default-responses.md):

## 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.material.security/getting-started/fundamentals/respond/respond-to-an-issue-manually.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
