# Quickstarts

GNW Horizon is designed to get you from a question to an insight as fast as possible. These guides walk you through the most common tasks step by step - each one takes under two minutes to follow and includes a ready-to-use prompt you can copy directly into the platform.

Whether you are exploring for the first time or building a long-term monitoring workflow, start with the guide that matches what you are trying to do.

**Get started**

For users opening GNW Horizon for the first time.

* Run your first analysis - ask a question about an area and get back a chart and plain-language summary
* Create a dashboard - save and organise your insights for long-term monitoring

**Work with data**

For users who want to go deeper into specific datasets and analytical tasks.

* Filter tree cover loss data - narrow results by canopy threshold, primary forest, or intact forest landscapes
* Ask about fires - choose the right dataset for a fires-related question
* Compare two areas  - run a side-by-side analysis across locations
* Rank areas within a country - find which districts, states, or provinces have the highest loss

**See it on the ground**

For users who want visual, on-the-ground context alongside their data.

* Add satellite imagery to your map - retrieve a recent Sentinel-2 view for any area
* Add satellite imagery to a dashboard -  combine imagery with charts and analysis in one place

**Share and continue**

For users who want to take their findings further.

* Export a chart as an image - download any chart as a PNG for reports or presentations
* Continue your analysis in another tool - export your data and context to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini
* Share a conversation - make a thread public and share the link
