# Content packs

Content packs are created by Palo Alto Networks, technology partners, consulting companies, MSSPs, customers, and individual contributors. Content packs may include a variety of different components, such as integrations, scripts, playbooks, and widgets, grouped together to address a specific use case. Content packs are free and can be used by all customers.

You can view Marketplace content packs from within Cortex XSIAM (go to Settings → **Configurations** → **Marketplace**) or at [Cortex Developer Docs Marketplace](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/).

**Pre-installed content packs**

Cortex XSIAM comes with a number of pre-installed content packs that cover many common uses cases. Pre-installed content packs include, but are not limited to:

* [Common Scripts](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonScripts/), [Common Widgets](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonWidgets/), [Common Playbooks](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonPlaybooks/), [Common Types](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonTypes/), [Common Reports](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonReports/), [Common Dashboards](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonDashboards/)

## 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://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam/configure-cortex-xsiam/marketplace/content-packs.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.
