# Add participants to your diary study

If you're using a Dscout screener to find participants, read on for how to launch your mission!

If you've brought your own participants, take a look at [this guide](/diary-studies/manage-a-diary-study/inviting-first-time-participants-to-a-diary-mission.md).

There are two ways to import participants from your screener into your diary studies: from the screener, and from the other studies you've filled using that screener.

## Import participants from a screener, usability test, or media survey

{% step %}

#### Select your Good Fit participants

Select only the applicants you want to go on your mission by using the potential fits you designated. (If you've followed our guide on [selecting participants](/recruit-participants/dscout-scout-panel/view-applications-and-select-participants.md), that means choosing the folks who are marked as "Good Fits".)

First, toggle off all ratings except for “Good Fit” at the top of the screen in the Participants tab.

Next, click the checkbox in any participant's application card.

Then choose “select all” at the bottom left of the blue bar that appears.

And finally, select “Add to Mission” in the bottom right to select the mission to which you’d like to add your participants!
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Import participants to your mission

Choose the appropriate draft (or launched) mission from the dropdown menu in the dialogue box that appears.

After importing your applicants into your mission, continue through to the Participants tab of your mission.

Then, customize your invitation message to participants, and launch your mission!

## 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://help.dscout.com/diary-studies/manage-a-diary-study/add-participants-to-your-diary-study.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.
