# Recently viewed

### Section overview

This section displays a horizontal slider of products that customers have recently viewed while browsing the store. It helps customers revisit items they've shown interest in, potentially increasing conversion rates.

#### Common use cases

* Display recently viewed products on product pages to encourage customers to return to items they browsed
* Add to cart pages to promote additional purchases
* Include on homepage for returning visitors to quickly access products they previously viewed
* Use on collection pages to remind customers of products they've already seen

#### Usage tips

* Place this section strategically where customers might need a reminder of products they've viewed
* Consider limiting the section to display only on product or cart pages for most relevance
* Ensure the section's heading clearly communicates its purpose (e.g., "Recently viewed")
* For mobile optimization, the section automatically adjusts to a narrower display with appropriate spacing
* The section only displays when customers have viewed products, avoiding empty space for new visitors

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/paper/sections/products-and-collections/recently-viewed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
