# Scenario Planning ("Create New Plan")

Scenario planning made easy with Drivepoint.

Whatever business question you have that you would like to sensitize on, we recommend following these steps: 

1. Navigate to your live model (*or from whichever Plan you would like to start)*
2. Click on "Create new Plan"
3. Name, add and describe your scenario

{% hint style="info" %}
Folders can be created from the Web App Main Plans page  by clicking "Create Folder" on the top right.
{% endhint %}

4. Start sensitizing across the different metrics that you would like to change in the newly created plan
5. Once you have completed the work in the new Plan, click [Sync to Drivepoint](/navigating-the-excel-add-in/core-functions-of-the-drivepoint-add-in/sync-to-drivepoint.md)
6. Navigate to the main Plans page to see the differences in values between different Plans
7. Visualize and compare your plans in the Drivepoint Web App. See how to do that [here](https://docs.drivepoint.io/help/using-the-web-app/plans/best-practices).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Plans can best be compared with the table in the Main Plans page or through the Visualize feature. Learn more here.&#x20;

## 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.drivepoint.io/navigating-the-excel-add-in/core-functions-of-the-drivepoint-add-in/scenario-planning-create-new-plan.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.
