 - [`render`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api#render) – deeply renders given React element and returns helpers to query the output components.
 - [`fireEvent`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api#fireevent) - invokes named event handler on the element.
 - [`waitForElement`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api#waitforelement) - waits for non-deterministic periods of time until your element appears or times out.
+- [`within`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api#within) - creates a queries object scoped for given element.
 - [`flushMicrotasksQueue`](https://callstack.github.io/react-native-testing-library/docs/api#flushmicrotasksqueue) - waits for microtasks queue to flush.
 
 **Note to users who are more familiar with `react-testing-library`:** This API does not expose `cleanup` because it doesn't interact with the DOM. There's nothing to clean up.

+Defined as:
+

+function within(instance: ReactTestInstance): Queries

+
+Perform [queries](./Queries.md) scoped to given element. 
+
+:::note
+Please note that additional `render` specific operations like `update`, `unmount`, `debug`, `toJSON` are _not_ included.

+* queries scoped to a single item inside a FlatList containing many items
+* queries scoped to a single screen in tests involving screen transitions (e.g. with react-navigation)
