# Input Container

## Overview

The input container is where users type inputs or questions into your chat. The input placeholder text presented to the user typically reads "Ask a question", but is fully customizable and can be unique for different chat pages. End users can hit "enter" to submit their message or click the "up" arrow to the right of the input container.

**Why Would I Hide the Input Container?**

In a majority of cases, you would not want to hide it. However, in certain scenarios where you want to control which responses are triggered and not allow users to ask open-ended questions, it may make sense:

* Limited Topic Conversation Flows
* Escalation-Only Chat Page
* Pre-Launch Starter Bot
