# Use Orbit inside a Unit

Use Unit Orbit when a question should stay grounded in one Work Unit or Context Unit.

![Use Orbit inside a Unit](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/8/4/2/a842a666ac554800/orbit-1_1eawxdb.gif)
## Open Unit Orbit

1. Open the Space and Unit.
2. In the right panel, start from **Threads**.
3. Select **Ask Orbit**.
4. In Orbit's side rail, select **Chat**.
5. Start a new chat or continue the active chat.

Use **Threads** to return to the team conversation. Use **Lenses** to review shared insights from the Unit.

## Ask a grounded question

Useful prompts include:

* What is missing before this work can start?
* What decisions have already been made?
* Which risks or dependencies need attention?
* Summarize the latest discussion and identify next steps.
* What changed in the attached meeting?

## Review the answer

Check the sources Orbit used before acting on an important claim. Ask a narrower follow-up if the answer combines unrelated points. Add the missing source to the Unit when the evidence is incomplete.

## Turn an answer into shared work

Use the appropriate reviewed surface: a Thread for discussion, a Document for a durable written artifact, a Diagram for a visual explanation, or a supported provider action for external work.

## If Orbit answers from the wrong context

Confirm the open Unit, start a new chat, and move cross-Space questions to Home Orbit.
