# Steer and queue

The composer has three actions: **Send**, **Queue**, and **Stop**. The app shows the useful one for the current state. This page explains each one.

## Send

Send delivers your text to the agent now.

- While the agent is running, Send steers the current turn. The agent reads your message without losing its place.
- While the agent is idle, Send starts a new turn.

## Queue

Queue holds your text until the agent can take it. The queue is durable: your messages survive a closed app, a dead network, and a restart. The device that hosts the session delivers them.

The composer offers Queue instead of Send when:

- The message carries an attachment that must reach the host device first.
- The session runs a legacy agent that accepts instructions only at turn boundaries.
- The agent asked you a question and is parked while it waits.

Queued instructions run in order. You can queue several in a row and close the laptop.

## Stop

Stop interrupts the agent. The transcript keeps everything up to the stop. Your drafts and queued messages stay.

## Answer questions

When an agent needs a decision, it asks. A question panel opens over the composer.

- The panel lists the answers. Select one, or press its number key.
- Questions come one page at a time and advance after you answer.
- While a question is open, the session status shows amber.

## Drafts

Every session keeps its own draft. Switch sessions, and your unfinished text is still there when you come back.

## Offline work

You do not need a connection to the session's host device to keep working. Queue your instructions; the host delivers them when you reconnect. See [Connect another device](connect-another-device.md).
