+====== Item recommendations ======
-You can recommend a book to another user and other users can make book recommendations to you. Book recommendations can be done in two ways:
+You can recommend an item to another user, and other users can make recommendations to you. Recommendations can be done in two places: either when you're viewing the item you want to recommend, or when you're viewing the user you want to recommend to.
+===== Finding an item then recommending it =====
+First, locate the item you want to recommend using a search or clicking through to it on your bookshelf, then click the "Recommend this item" icon next to it:
-===== First way =====
+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_bookshelf.png|}}

+Next you have to choose the user you want to recommend this to; use the search box that displays on the page, and once you've found the right user, click the "Select user" icon:
+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_finduser.png|}}
+You then have the option to enter personal text to appear with the recommendation:

+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_message.png|}}
+Once the recommendation has been sent, the user will see a notification for it when they log in:
+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_new.png|}}
+===== Viewing recommendations (your own profile) =====
+From your own profile box, you can follow a link to "Recommendations". This will display two boxes:
+The "Recommendations to me" box, which shows all the recommendations you've received from other users:
+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_items.png|}}
+And the "Recommendations I made" box, which shows all the recommendations you have made to other users:
+{{:connections:functionality:recommend_imade.png|}}
