# Add a Panic Button

To set up a Panic Button, you must first add your wallet as a monitored address. 

Jump to [Add a Monitored Address ->](/aegis/add-a-monitored-address.md)

Afterward, open your monitored address and navigate to the Panic Button tab:

1. **Connect your wallet** address to Aegis and verify ownership.

{% hint style="info" %}
Aegis cannot access your wallet, but you need to sign a message confirming you are the owner of the account and have permission to manage the wallet’s funds.
{% endhint %}

2. **Add a secure backup address**\
   Aegis does not check the ownership of this address. It is your responsibility to designate a secure backup address that only you can access. We strongly recommend utilizing cold wallet storage as your secure backup.
3. **Specify the tokens to safeguard in case of emergency**\
   Aegis will create a set of pre-configured transactions for your specified tokens, ready to be executed after you activate the Panic Button.

## 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.lossless.io/aegis/panic-button/add-a-panic-button.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.
