-====== ​My interests ====== +====== ​Adding your interests ====== 
-This section shows the general ​interests ​of a user such as favorite book, movie, etc.+You can add your interests ​to your profile, ​such as your favorite book, movie, etc., as well as general interests. They'​re used by Connections to help improve its recommendations to you. 
 + 
 +When viewing someone else's profile, you will see a "My interests"​ widget on their page, showing their favourites (it does not display their general interests; these are always hidden). For example: 
 + 
 +{{:​connections:​functionality:​int_widget_other.png|}} 
 + 
 +To edit your interests, click the "​Manage my: Interests"​ link in your profile widget on your Connections home page. You can also edit them by using the "Edit my profile"​ link in the top toolbar and then the "My interests"​ tab. 
 + 
 +===== Editing interests ===== 
 +  * **Step 1:** Add or edit your favorite authors, books, and movies, which then will show on your profile "My interests"​ widget that other users can see. 
 +  * **Step 2:** Add some general interests of yours (for example, "​gardening"​ or "​baseball"​) on a one-by-one basis. Once you start typing in your interest, Connections will auto-suggest interests other users have already added. If possible, choose the auto-suggested interests, as this will make its recommendations much more accurate.
