# Manage appearance of an intercept study

Your intercept study will appear as a pop-up when qualifying participants visit your designated intercept URL. This pop-up will display the incentive for your study as well as a custom prompt to tell participants a little about your study.

### Intercept prompt

The prompt for your intercept study is your way of giving participants an idea of what they can expect while also piquing their interest. For example, you might choose to emphasize how long the study might take or a quick summary of what you’re hoping to learn: “Tell us more about your use of videos when shopping—it’ll only take a couple of minutes!”

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Overview** tab of your study.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click anywhere in the **Appearance and prompt** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the **Intercept prompt** text box, enter your desired prompt.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** You can format the text of your prompt in the following ways:

* `*bold*` = **bold**
* `_italic_` = *italic*
* `<http://examplelink.com>` = [https://examplelink.com](https://examplelink.com/)
* `[Sample link](https://examplelink.com)` = [Sample link](https://examplelink.com/)
  {% endhint %}
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Done**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your study prompt is saved and will be displayed to participants in the intercept pop-up when they visit your intercept URL. You can preview how this pop-up will appear by opening the **Appearance and prompt** section again and clicking **Preview your intercept**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://help.dscout.com/intercept-studies/create-an-intercept-study/manage-appearance-of-an-intercept-study.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.
