# Cross-Device Editing

The cross-device editing functionality in the Luminar for Desktop ecosystem bridges the gap between desktop and mobile, offering a truly connected photo-editing experience across devices.

At the heart of this feature is effortless synchronization between Luminar Mobile and Luminar for Desktop. Every imported photo, edit, or adjustment is automatically synced through your Skylum account. Start editing your photos on Luminar Mobile and continue on Luminar for Desktop. This means your photo library, including all the edits, travels with you: no cables or manual transfers needed.

## 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://support.skylum.com/how-to-use-luminar-for-desktop/cross-device-editing.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.
