# History navigation & Breadcrumb

Menu paths have a lot of options that can be accessed through the command:

```bash
> shimoku cloud update menu-paths
```

```
Update the properties of a menu path

Possible arguments to update the menu path:
  --hide-title               (true/false) Hide the title of the menu path
  --hide-path                (true/false) Hide the path of the menu path
  --show-breadcrumb          (true/false) Show the breadcrumb of the menu path
  --show-history-navigation  (true/false) Show the history navigation of the menu path
  --menu-path                Name or id of the menu path
  --new-name                 New name for the menu path
  --order                    New order for the menu path
```

### Breadcrumb

They will tell you your current path above in the page. To use them you just have to call the update function setting the parameter `show_breadcrumb` to `True`.

## 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.shimoku.com/dev/elements/features-and-navigation/history-navigation-and-breadcrumb.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.
