+
+## Key enhancements
+
+* **Simplified learning curve**. Receive syntax suggestions and schema prompts to write queries without extensive knowledge of query syntax.
+* **Enhanced autocomplete**. Benefit from context-aware suggestions improve accuracy and efficiency, adapting to your queries and organizational patterns.
+* **Streamlined field discovery**. Automatically receive suggestions for relevant fields, especially in structured data like JSON, reducing the need for manual searches.
+
+## How to get started
+
+1. **Start a log search**. From the [**Classic UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui-classic) or the [**New UI**](/docs/get-started/sumo-logic-ui), go to **Log Search** and begin typing your query.
+2. **Leverage syntax and schema suggestions**. As you type, watch for real-time suggestions for fields and operators. Use the arrow keys to navigate suggestions and press `Tab` to autocomplete.
+3. **Take advantage of predictions**. Use partial query predictions to build queries faster and more accurately.
+4. **Review and correct errors**. Address flagged errors before running your query to ensure it executes as intended.  
+5. **Edit queries with the Copilot**. If you’re using Copilot, modify your query directly in the [code editor field](/docs/search/copilot/#edit-query-code) and utilize autocomplete suggestions for further refinement.
+
+## Features
+
+### Token-by-token prediction and autocomplete
+
+Get real-time suggestions for query completion as you type, with token-by-token predictions that help you quickly finish your queries. For example, as you start typing `_sourceCategory=`, the system provides relevant metadata options and autocompletes your query. Simply press the `Tab` key to accept a suggestion.  
+
+* **Operator suggestions**. When typing the first letters of an operator, the system displays all matching operators related to those letters, helping you quickly find and select the appropriate one. For example, typing `st` might suggest `status`, `startsWith`, or other related operators.
+* **Value suggestions**. After typing `status=`, you will be prompted with likely values such as `success`, `error`, or other status codes based on your previous queries or log data.
+
+### Schema discovery and field suggestions
+
+Automatically receive suggestions for relevant fields in structured data like JSON logs, making field discovery much easier.
+
+* **Field suggestions**. For structured logs, the system automatically suggests relevant fields such as `userID`, `eventType`, or `timestamp` as you type. This eliminates the need for manual inspection of logs, making it easier to filter and aggregate data.
+
+### Next operator prediction
+
+The system intelligently predicts the next search operator or offers partial query suggestions based on your input, reducing manual effort.
+
+* **Operator predictions**. When you type a query such as `source=logs | where status="error"`, the system predicts the next operator and offers suggestions like `count by employeeID` or other common fields, aligning your queries with standard patterns.
+
+### Real-time error highlighting and feedback
+
+Errors are flagged as you type, with immediate suggestions for corrections, ensuring a seamless query-writing experience.
+
+* **Error detection**. As you write queries, the system highlights syntax errors in real-time, such as unclosed parentheses or misspelled operators, and provides instant suggestions to fix the issue, preventing unnecessary troubleshooting.
+
+### Contextual autocomplete and field discovery
+
+Suggestions are ranked based on your organization’s common queries, making query completion smarter and more relevant.
+
+* **Contextual suggestions**. The system ranks suggestions based on common queries from your organization or your own previous queries. This ensures that your autocomplete options are not only relevant but also contextually accurate, speeding up the query-writing process.
