# Connect Tessl to GitLab
To enable Tessl on your repositories, you will first navigate to the [Tessl Registry](https://tessl.io/registry) and login, if required.
## Enabling the Integration
* Select your workspace from the workspace switcher in the sidebar, below the organization dropdown.\

* Open **Settings** in the sidebar, then select the **Integrations** section\

.
If the integration belongs to your organization rather than this workspace, the workspace Integrations section only summarizes it. Manage the connection from the organization dropdown at the top of the sidebar → **Settings** → **Integrations** → **Manage**. This route needs the organization integration-management permission.
* Select *Add* next to the GitLab integration.
* Provide an access token with the correct [permissions](/distribute/permissions.md#gitlab-permissions) for a gitlab.com instance. \* If you are using a self hosted or customer-url for your instance, check the Use a custom instance URL box, and provide the necessary URL.
```
```
## Troubleshooting
What if the option to *Add Integration* isn't available? In the following example Tessl is not enabled and the user does not have the correct [Role](/administrators/roles.md) within Tessl (manager or owner) so the interface does not provide the option to integrate GitLab. To address this, ensure you have the correct [Role](/administrators/roles.md) within Tessl or request a user with these permissions to setup the integration.

## 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://docs.tessl.io/distribute/connect-tessl-to-gitlab.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
