# Products highlights

Another way to optimise your recommendation setup is by **highlighting specific products** within a product block. This feature allows you to manually pin products to ensure they appear prominently, ahead of those selected by the algorithm.

### Manual Selection via Product List: <a href="#h_01jdpff3d6pqbehng7p17kqhnq" id="h_01jdpff3d6pqbehng7p17kqhnq"></a>

Click on the ‘Pick the product to highlight’ button.\
This will open your product catalogue, allowing you to browse and select the products you want to spotlight.

### Direct Selection via Product IDs: <a href="#h_01jdpffestz68bh52apnh25d1j" id="h_01jdpffestz68bh52apnh25d1j"></a>

Alternatively, you can enter the Product IDs directly into the designated field to highlight specific items.
