# Tips & best practices

Reference notes after you have walked through [Start here](/platform-bloxchain.app/start.md). Use when choosing import vs deploy, use cases vs custom configure, or member vs admin paths.

## Lifecycle

```
Account → Contract tab → Use case (or custom configure) → Connect app → Use
```

## Use case vs custom vs connect

|          | **Use case**                                                    | **Custom**                                                  | **Connect**                                                                                |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **When** | Common workload (treasury, token, router)                       | You know your schemas                                       | After policy is set                                                                        |
| **Doc**  | [Use cases & quick setup](/platform-bloxchain.app/use-cases.md) | [Configure overview](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview-1.md) | [Connect your application](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview-1/connect-your-application.md) |

## Two paths (member vs admin)

|          | **Member**                                 | **Admin**                                          |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Docs** | [Use](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview.md) | [Configure](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview-1.md) |

## Account vs workspace address

* **Contract tab** = policy workspace (`contractAddress` in SDK)
* **Your token/router** = usually on **allowlists**, not the tab address

## Import vs deploy

|                        | **Import**                                                       | **Deploy**                                                                                           |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **When**               | Contract already on-chain (you, CI, or teammate deployed it)     | You need a **new** Account workspace                                                                 |
| **You provide**        | Address + network + display name                                 | Deploy dialog fields ([full list](/platform-bloxchain.app/contracts/deploy.md#deploy-dialog-fields)) |
| **Gas**                | Registration only (no deploy tx)                                 | Pays deployment gas for CopyBlox clone                                                               |
| **Security at create** | Reads existing Owner / timelock from chain                       | Sets Owner, Broadcaster, Recovery, timelock in deploy dialog                                         |
| **Guide**              | [Import a contract](/platform-bloxchain.app/contracts/import.md) | [Deploy a contract](/platform-bloxchain.app/contracts/deploy.md)                                     |

After either path: configure policy → [Connect your application](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview-1/connect-your-application.md) → [Use a contract](/platform-bloxchain.app/overview.md).

# 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://docs.bloxchain.app/platform-bloxchain.app/tips.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.
