# FAQ

> Common questions about using fabriqa day to day.

## Why is my provider missing?

It may not be installed, enabled, signed in, or available in the environment where fabriqa is running. Start with [Providers and setup](/configure/agent-providers).

## Should I use an agent provider or a direct model provider?

Use an agent provider for the fuller coding workflow. Use a direct model provider for lighter, more direct model access.

## When should I start a worktree session?

Use a worktree session when you want isolation for a feature, experiment, or parallel task in the same repository.

## What is the difference between Settings and Workspace Settings?

**Settings** is app-wide. **Workspace Settings** is scoped to the current workspace.

## What if a prompt is blocked waiting for me?

Go to [Approvals and permissions](/use/approvals-and-permissions). fabriqa can pause when it needs confirmation for a sensitive action or permission for a tool or operation.

## Why did my follow-up prompt not send immediately?

If a reply is already running, fabriqa can queue follow-up prompts and dispatch them when the lane is free.

## Where do I inspect file output safely?

Use **Reader** for file previews and **Git Changes** for diffs. Go to [Workspace tools](/use/workspace-tools) for the full workflow.

## What should I look at when a chat becomes large?

Watch the usage and context indicators. They help you see token consumption, cost, and context pressure.

## What if a linked worktree folder is gone?

fabriqa can warn you when a linked worktree no longer exists so you can archive or clean up that chat instead of continuing in a broken state.
