# Changes to Supports

How shifting or deleting a beam support triggers change warnings, pop-up notifications, and Element Manager highlighting.

Changes to the supports of a beam designed using ENERCALC for Revit will result in a change warning. This includes changes such as the following:

* Shifting a beam’s support
* Deleting a beam’s support

If working in “Real-time” monitoring mode, these changes will result in a pop-up notification to the user. As with other types of pop-up notifications, the user is presented with 3 choices.

Regardless of whether a change was accompanied by a pop-up, all changes are noted in the Element Manager summary table and via element highlighting.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/monitoring-and-change-warnings/changes-to-supports.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.
