-## Context Integration
+Continue can be deeply customized to fit your specific development workflow and preferences. This guide covers the main ways you can customize Continue to enhance your coding experience.
 
-Specialized context features for codebase understanding and documentation integration.
+## Change Your Model Provider
 
-[Browse Context Features →](/guides/understanding-configs)
+Continue allows you to choose your favorite or even add multiple model providers. This allows you to use different models for different tasks, or to try another model if you're not happy with the results from your current model. Continue supports all of the popular model providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft/Azure, Mistral, and more. You can even self host your own model provider if you'd like. Learn more about [model providers](/customize/model-providers/overview).

-Understand how different models can be assigned specific roles in your development workflow.
+## Edit Your Configuration
 
-[Learn Model Roles →](/customize/model-roles)
+You can easily access your configuration from the Continue Chat sidebar. Open the sidebar by pressing `cmd/ctrl` + `L` (VS Code) or `cmd/ctrl` + `J` (JetBrains) and click the Agent selector above the main chat input. Then, you can hover over an agent and click the `new window` (hub agents) or `gear` (local agents) icon.
