## Welcome to Console

Quick intro to the UI

The Console UI is split into two panes: an editor pane (left) and a response pane (right). Use the editor to type requests and submit them to Elasticsearch. The results will be displayed in the response pane on the right side.

Console understands requests in a compact format, similar to cURL:

While typing a request, Console will make suggestions which you can then accept by hitting Enter/Tab. These suggestions are made based on the request structure as well as your indices and types.

A few quick tips, while I have your attention

- Submit requests to ES using the green triangle button.
- Use the wrench menu for other useful things.
- You can paste requests in cURL format and they will be translated to the Console syntax.
- You can resize the editor and output panes by dragging the separator between them.
- Study the keyboard shortcuts under the Help button. Good stuff in there!
