# Create Columns

### Adding New Columns to a Google Sheet

First, add a new column directly in your Google Sheet.

Then click on *Refresh columns from a Google Sheet* on your TaskBot page. 

This can be done in a table dropdown, as shown below.

The new column will be created with an auto-generated name such as "New Col 1" or "New Col 2". By clicking on the column, you can rename it.

## 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.zerowork.io/using-zerowork/using-tables/create-columns.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.
