Feature Idea (one per thread):  
Hello everyone,

First of all thank you all in prismic team ❤ I really enjoy using your tool.

Feature idea:  
Expand https://{{repo}}.prismic.io/graphql tool with [graphiql-explorer](https://github.com/OneGraph/graphiql-explorer) plugin

Issue that it solves:  
This will improve query writing speed, readability.

For people who are using graphQL for first time this helps eliminate learning curve.

Sorry for gramma and sentence structure.

You can use `Ctrl` + `Space` to trigger autofill:

Hi Arnas,

As @marcellothearcane said there is already a graphiql explorer available, if you are visiting [https://your-repo-name.prismic.io/graphql](https://your-repo-name.prismic.io/graphql) and getting a 404, this means graphql isn't activated on the repo.

If anyone needs this activated you can do so by following the process described here:

> [@Feature Activations (GraphQL, Integration Fields etc.)](https://community.prismic.io/t/feature-activations-graphql-integration-fields-etc/847):
>
> This thread details how to request activation of the following Prismic features: Integration Fields Environments (Platinum Plan) You can also ask for these 'action' requests: Main locale changes Deleting user accounts Media removal requests Features that are activated by default (Need activated on legacy repos): GraphQL (Visit [https://your-repo-name.prismic.io/graphql](https://your-repo-name.prismic.io/graphql) to see your GraphQL browser) New toolbar/edit button (If the preview script in your repo has new=true, you are up to date…

@marcellothearcane and @Phil Thanks for fast response.

@Phil graphlQL is working perfectly in my repo. Thank you ❤

@marcellothearcane you are right about explorer and autofill.

Using this approach I found myself going deep into docs section, to find which fields are available and where is data which I need is laying. Which is fine, but using prismic + gatsby on another project I just felt in love this feature, and I really missing it in official prismic graphiQL api.

I understand that this is paid feature and this may not be a high priority. But as a developer I found it very handy.

Thank you guys for you time ❤🙏

I was going to suggest [https://graphiql-online.com/graphiql](https://graphiql-online.com/graphiql), but it doesn't work without POST on the endpoint ([Prismic uses GET instead](https://community.prismic.io/t/413-request-entity-too-large/1034/10)).
