Discover the queries and mutations supported by schemas on your instance by enabling introspection.

Note:  
Do not use introspective queries in a production environment.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to System Web ServicesGraphQLProperties.
2. Select the Enable/Disable introspective queries for the GlideRecord Schema option.
3. Select the Enable/Disable introspective queries for users to discover the supported GraphQL queries and types option.
4. Select Save.
