To provide improved content recommendations, organize topics into **Sections** and **Flows** on the **Content** page in Optimizely Content Recommendations. Configure sections and flows before deploying recommendation blocks on your websites. This ensures optimized content delivery and relevance.

A **Section** categorizes content items, such as financial blog posts. Associate one or more **Flows** with a section. A flow organizes content by applying a set of rules that trigger a defined action when matched.

For example, if your website features various blog content types, you can create a section for *financial blog posts*. Set a flow to automatically approve blogs for processing and recommendations if they contain topics such as *finance*, *retirement*, *IRA*, and *401k*. When new content items are processed that match these criteria, they are added to the *financial blog* section.

For information on configuring and editing sections and associated flows, see [Create sections and flows](docId:2m1ToTWIz8Y09OEqlUIj1).
