# Switching presets and environmental conditions

On this page you will learn how and when to apply environmental conditions and switch presets.

On this page, you will learn how and when to apply environmental conditions and switch presets.

The Navigation Bar gives information on the currently active preset and environmental conditions.

The Control Panel, accessible from any section within HOLOPLOT Control, allows you to perform preset switching and adjust environmental conditions.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Audio may glitch while switching presets or environmental conditions. It is recommended to wait between scenes to make the switch.
{% endhint %}

### Switch presets

Select the desired preset on the list on the **Control Pane**l to immediately switch presets or use the search functionality to quickly find any preset.

It shows the current environmental conditions for all the beams making up the preset. There are two ways of adjusting the environmental conditions of beams in the currently selected preset:

1. Input the desired values for temperature (°C), humidity (%), and atmospheric pressure (hPa). HOLOPLOT Control accepts decimal points with a comma (,) or a period (.).
2. Depending on when you want to apply the values, you can:
   * Click **Apply** to use the newly input environmental conditions immediately.
   * Click **Save** to use the newly input environmental conditions on the subsequent preset switching.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.holoplot.com/holoplot-control/operating-the-system/switching-presets-and-environmental-conditions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
