## Running

There is one main feed per each scenario, where all InstaMedia posts will be published.

### Post images <a href="#post-images" id="post-images"></a>

Posting images live during an exercise is effective for quickly spreading key information in a visually engaging way.

To post an image live click the `+` button on the top right hand corner of the InstaMedia channel. Here you will have the option to:

* Camera: take an image live using your laptop camera
* URL: upload an image or video by copying and pasting its URL
* Local: Importing an image or video that is stored locally on your laptop

After importing the file write a caption below and then click Share.

### Deleting posts <a href="#deleting-posts" id="deleting-posts"></a>

Note that you are only able to delete your own posts and comments.

# 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 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://helpdocs.conducttr.com/feature-documentation/designing-and-running/channels/other-social-channels/instamedia-instagram.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.
