You don’t need to Mark Azure and AWS recommendations as complete because the system automatically detects when recommendations are being executed and moves them to the completed/realized state. However, there are some exceptions to automatically realizing savings amounts from Azure and AWS Recommendations. For details, see [Completion of Azure Recommendations](#completion-of-azure-recommendations) and [AWS Recommendations](#aws-recommendations).
{% endhint %}
1. On the **Recommendations** page, click the recommendation type (Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence, or Security). All recommendations for your chosen type are displayed.
2. Click the recommendation name. The details page of your selected recommendation opens.
3. Select the checkbox for the recommendation and then click **Mark complete** or **Dismiss**. You can also select multiple recommendations at once.
4. Confirm the action.
After you complete a recommendation, it is moved from the **Active** tab to the **Realised** tab. If you dismiss a recommendation, it is moved from the **Active** tab to the **Unrealised** tab.
## Add comments or view the progress log
The messaging feature allows stakeholders to participate in a conversation, so multiple collaborators can keep on top of recommendations and their progress. Through the use of the ‘mentions’ feature, you can tag your peers or SoftwareOne Services Consultants to bring items, to-do lists, or issues to their attention.

When an individual is mentioned in a conversation, a notification email is sent to them. These email notifications cannot be turned off.
