# 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. From the left sidebar, navigate to **Recommendations**.
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.
{% hint style="info" %}
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 following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
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 what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
