How do I add Query Pages to my menu?

The easiest way is to add it as a custom link in the Menus section of your site.

How do I use query shortcodes?

Easy, the code you're looking for is like this. [query id=2] , where the number 2 is the query id.

What are overrides and how do I use them?

Overrides allow you to alter the display and information given on category and tag pages. For a simple example, add a new query and chose the type override. Choose how you want the content to display, then examine the Override Settings options. Select a category or multiple categories to override. Save the query, then visit that category page.
