# How to Create a CDP
Navigate to the **Borrow** page
* Select the synthetic you wish to borrow on the right panel
* Choose the collateral assets you want to create your position with
{% hint style="info" %}
In the example above, one can see quick previews of the **Maximum Proportion (MP)** and **Weight (W)** parameters used for determining loan health (see [Synthetic Parameters](/how-to-use-butane/butane-basics/synthetic-parameters.md))
{% endhint %}
* Modify collateral amounts to determine a borrowing capacity
* Choose a borrow amount by either entering a specific value or using the LTV slider
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, **Safe Mode** will be enabled, enforcing a minimum health factor on newly created positions for protection against liquidations. This can be disabled in settings.
{% endhint %}
* Review your borrow action, and click the "borrow" button
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, since Butane transactions can contain multiple actions (see the section on **Action Composability** in [The Butane Platform](/introduction/the-butane-platform.md)), this will add a "borrow" action to your transaction cart. If you are only performing a single action and want to save yourself a few clicks, you can turn off action composability in the settings panel, which will then make the button prompt you to submit the borrowing transaction immediately.
{% endhint %}

## 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.butane.dev/how-to-use-butane/guides/how-to-create-a-cdp.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.
