# Personalized Editors’ Picks

![](/img/recipes/news/personalized-editors-picks.png) 

## Introduction

The **Editors’ Picks** section highlights curated content selected by your editorial team, while still adapting to each reader.

This approach combines the **human touch of curation** with the **power of personalization**, making it a great fit for the homepage, category landing pages, or even email campaigns.

## Scenario Setup

In the Recombee Admin UI, navigate to the **[Scenarios](/scenarios)** section and select **Create Scenario**.

1. Enter a **Scenario ID**, such as _"editors-picks"_
2. Choose **Recommendation type** – _[Items to User](/api#recommend-items-to-user)_

## Logic

The **[Logic](/recommendation_logics)** defines the behavior of the recommendation engine.

Select the **[news:editors-picks](/recommendation_logics#news-editors-picks)** Logic from the **News** models to return the articles picked by the editors.

The list of articles is provided via the `picks` parameter: the editorial team can either pick the list of items directly in the Recombee Admin UI or if you export the list from a CMS, you can set it [via API](/recommendation_logics#setting-logic-using-api-parameter) when calling the recommendation request.

Using the `excludeAlreadyRead` parameter you can either allow or filter out the articles the user has already read.

By default, the picked articles are re-ordered per user. You can disable this by setting the `personalizedReordering` parameter to `false`.

## Requesting Recommendations

There are three ways to retrieve the Editors’ Picks recommendations.

1. **[No-Code Widget](/no-code-widgets)** – create a No-Code Widget using the **visual editor in the Admin UI** to embed the Editors’ Picks section without writing code.
2. **[Widget SDKs](/widget-sdks)** – use the SDK for a [Carousel](/widget-sdks#carousel), [Grid](/widget-sdks#grid), or [Feed](/widget-sdks#feed) to display the recommendations in the design of your choice. Use the [Recommend Items to User](/api#recommend-items-to-user) endpoint and specify the `editors-picks` scenario when initializing the widget.
3. **[API SDK](/api_clients)** – request the [Recommend Items to User](/api#recommend-items-to-user) endpoint of the Recombee API using an SDK of your choice and specify the `editors-picks` scenario.
