# Syntax
```javascript
.document()
.document(options)
```
## Usage
`.document()` cannot be chained off any other cy commands, so should be chained off of `cy` for clarity.
**{% fa fa-check-circle green %} Valid Usage**
```javascript
cy.document()
```
## Arguments
**{% fa fa-angle-right %} options** ***(Object)***
Pass in an options object to change the default behavior of `.document()`.
Option | Default | Notes

`log` | `true` | whether to display command in command log
## Yields
`.as()` yields the `window.document` object.
## Timeout
`.document()` will retry for the duration of the [`defaultCommandTimeout`](https://on.cypress.io/guides/configuration#timeouts)
# Examples
## Document
**Get document and do some work**
```javascript
cy.document().then(function(document) {
// work with document element
});
```
**Make an assertion about the document**
```javascript
cy.document().its('contentType').should('eq', 'text/html')
```
