# Create component

Components serve as building blocks for creating reusable features and functionality that can be leveraged across multiple applications.

Components can be created inside an application package or in the application library. Components inside a package can be used in all applications in the same package but are not visible to applications in other packages. \
Components in the application library can be shared with all applications in the organization.

To create a new local component that can be utilized by all applications in the package, click the plus button in the **Assets** section, and select **Component**.

Enter the name, description and a color of the component.&#x20;

Assets can be tagged with new or existing tags to help organize your components.

## 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.novacura.com/flow-connect/working-with-connect/create-and-design/components/create-component.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.
