# Enable auto-apply recommendations

When you are comfortable with the recommendations and have protected critical metrics with exemptions, you can enable auto-apply for a fully automated workflow.

Once enabled, the system automatically applies new optimization recommendations as they are generated, continuously fine-tuning your environment without requiring any manual review.

To enable auto-apply, complete the following steps:

### From the Overview page

You can enable auto-apply directly from the **Overview** page without navigating to the **Segments** page.

1. Navigate to **Adaptive Metrics**.
2. On the **Overview** page, click **Enable auto-apply** next to the **Segment** dropdown.
3. Select the segments you want to enable auto-apply for.
4. Click **Apply**.

You are also prompted to enable auto-apply after applying all recommendations. This prompt lets you enable auto-apply for the current segment so that future recommendations are applied automatically.

### Default or existing segments

To enable auto-apply for the default segment or an existing segment from the **Segments** page, complete the following steps.

1. Navigate to **Adaptive Metrics**.
2. Navigate to the **Segments** page.
3. Click the **Edit** icon next to the segment you want to enable auto-apply for.
4. Select the **Enable auto-apply** checkbox.
5. Click **Save**.
   
   In the Segments list, you can view your new segment and whether auto-apply is enabled.

### New segments

To enable auto-apply for new segments, complete the following steps.

1. Navigate to **Adaptive Metrics**.
2. Navigate to the **Segments** page.
3. Click **Add new segment**.
   
   Fill out the details for the new segment.
4. Select the **Enable auto-apply** checkbox.
5. Click **Add**.
   
   In the Segments list, you can view your new segment and whether auto-apply is enabled.
   
   From the **Rules** page, you can search for a segment and see whether auto-apply is enabled.

In the next milestone, you’ll monitor and validate the ongoing impact of applied recommendations.
