# Feature Showcase: Snippet that Prompts for Input

Create a snippet that prompts for input. This showcase uses an interpolation shortcut to prompt for a string that is interpolated into the snippet.

Before you start: If necessary, display the Toolbox sidebar (View|Tabs & Sidebars|Toolbox).

Click in the Add button to create a new snippet in the Toolbox.
Configure the snippet. The `%ask` segment is an interpolation shortcut that prompts for an entry when the snippet is used.
Double-click the snippet. A dialog box is displayed prompts for the "Company Name" value.
The value is interpolated into the comment configured in the snippet.
