# How to customize onboarding stages?

Stages are individual steps that describe your onboarding process. Please read this article to get more information about onboarding: [Partner Onboarding](/manage-partners/onboarding/partner-onboarding.md).

## Add stage

Open the onboarding pipeline you want to edit, then click the **Add stage** button:

Fill in the form in this way:

* **Stage name:** Name of the stage. Choose a short and meaningful name. This name will be visible to channel managers and also to partners.
* **Description:** This is a brief description of this stage. It is used to keep your pipeline organized. It is visible to channel managers and partners.

## Edit stage

Open the onboarding pipeline you want to edit, then **click on the stage name**:

## 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-vnext.kiflo.com/manage-partners/onboarding/how-to-customize-onboarding-stages.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.
