Implementation Steps

3. Click on the “Create Section” button on the top-right corner of the AI Recommendations Setup screen
- This will open the Create AI Recommendation Section screen (as shown in the image), where you can configure and customize your recommendation section.

4. Click on the Save button to create the section
