# Recommendations

The **Caards** theme supports Ghost’s native **Recommendations** feature. This allows you to suggest other publications to your readers without needing custom pages or extra code.

In line with the theme’s simplicity-first approach, recommendations are displayed using a basic navigation link—no additional setup or theme modifications required.

### Add Recommendations

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add a Recommended Publication

  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Add a Link to Your Navigation

To let users access your recommendations, simply add a link to your site's navigation.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to Navigation Settings

* Go to **Settings** > **Site** > **Navigation** `yoursite.com/ghost/#/settings/navigation`

  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}
