# Customize Recommendations
The more option
in a recommendation card contains features that you can use to adjust parameters and exclude pools.
These features allow you to fine-tune and optimize results to better meet specific goals or conditions. The available parameters and pools you can exclude from a recommendation vary based on the recommendation you are accessing.
## Customizing a recommendation
To customize a recommendation:
1. Navigate to the **Recommendations** page.
2. Find the required recommendation, then select the more icon.
3. To update the recommendation parameters, select **Settings** and make the required changes. When saved, new settings are applied during the next recommendations check.
4. To exclude a pool from a specific recommendation, select **Exclude pools**. When excluded, the excluded objects are displayed on the **Excluded** tab within the **Recommendations** page.
5. To pin or unpin a recommendation, select **Pin** or **unpin**, depending on the available option. Pinned recommendations always appear as the first one in your list of recommendations until they are unpinned.

The option to pin a recommendation is only available in the card view.

## 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.finops.softwareone.com/insights/recommendations/customize-recommendations.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
