Summary

Documents the ?assistant URL query parameter on the Use the assistant page. This parameter opens the assistant chat panel from any documentation page and optionally submits an initial message, enabling deep links from emails, support replies, in-app banners, and onboarding flows.

The page's frontmatter already advertised URL parameters as a way to open the assistant, but the corresponding section was missing. This change adds it.

Changes

  • Added a URL parameters section under Keyboard shortcut with usage, behavior on close, encoded examples, and a cross-reference to ?search=.
  • Mirrored the section in the Spanish, French, and Chinese translations.

Source PR

Adds documentation for the user-facing change shipped in mintlify/mint#7441, which re-enables the ?assistant= query parameter (originally removed and now safely re-introduced after sanitization landed).


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that add usage guidance for a URL query parameter; no runtime or security-sensitive code is modified.

Overview
Adds a new URL parameters section to assistant/use.mdx documenting how ?assistant and ?assistant=<message> open the assistant (including URL-encoded examples), how the query param is removed on close, and that it is ignored for users without access.

Mirrors the same documentation updates in the Spanish, French, and Chinese versions, and cross-references ?search=<query> for prefilled search.
