# Your studio

A **studio** is your workspace on Updatr. It owns your products, your storefront, your collaborators, and your settings.

You get one automatically the first time you're approved to sell. Most people only ever need one.

## Choosing your store URL

The first time you open the seller dashboard, you'll be asked to pick a store URL. This becomes your public storefront:

```
updatr.merithic.com/store/your-studio
```

Rules:

* 3 to 30 characters
* Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
* No leading, trailing, or double hyphens

{% hint style="info" %}
**Your store URL follows your studio name.** Rename the studio and the address updates to match.

Bear in mind that any link someone already shared points at the old address and will stop working, so rename sparingly once you've started promoting your store.
{% endhint %}

## Studio settings

Find these under **Studio** in the dashboard.

| Tab               | What it does                                                                                            |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **General**       | Studio name, logo, banner, bio, and social links. This is what buyers see on your storefront.           |
| **Collaborators** | Invite people and scope what they can do. See [Collaborators](/merithic-docs/selling/collaborators.md). |
| **Notifications** | Choose what you're alerted about.                                                                       |
| **Webhooks**      | Post sales and security alerts to a Discord channel.                                                    |
| **Bot**           | Link a Discord server for bot commands and verification.                                                |
| **Migration**     | Import buyers from an existing setup.                                                                   |

## Switching studios

If you collaborate on someone else's studio, use the studio switcher at the top of the dashboard. Everything you see (products, licenses, settings) belongs to whichever studio is active.

## 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://merithic.gitbook.io/merithic-docs/getting-started/studio.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.
