## Overview

Findings Recommendations are remediation suggestions that are linked to specific findings. Unlike general report recommendations, these are tied directly to individual findings and are automatically included when a finding is added to a report.

## Bidirectional Linking

Findings recommendations are linked bidirectionally with findings:

* From a **finding**, you can view and manage its linked recommendations
* From a **recommendation**, you can view and manage which findings use it

This ensures recommendations are always associated with the correct findings across all reports.
