# Boost & Bury

> Storewide boost and bury rules: available conditions, market scoping and how rules interact.

Boost & Bury applies storewide ranking adjustments on top of Depict's
automatic ranking. Boosted products rank higher everywhere; buried products
rank lower.

## Limits and behavior

* Saved rule changes can take up to 30 minutes to take effect.
* Boost and bury rules do not affect pinned or hidden products.
* Buried products stay visible to shoppers — they are ranked lower, not
  hidden.
* A rule with no markets selected applies to every market.
* Each condition except **Collection** can be used at most once per effect
  side (boost or bury).
* **New in (proportional)** rules are managed by Depict: they appear in the
  Boost list but cannot be created or edited in the portal.

## Rules

The page shows two lists side by side — **Boost** and **Bury**. Rules are
created and edited in a modal with a live preview of the products the rule
will affect.

| Condition | Available as | Notes |
| - | - | - |
| **New products** | Boost | |
| **Best selling** | Boost | |
| **On sale** | Boost or Bury | |
| **Collection** | Boost or Bury | Targets the products in a collection you pick. |
| **Out of stock** | Bury | |
| **Few sizes available** | Bury | |
| **New in (proportional)** | Boost (display only) | Managed by Depict; cannot be created or edited in the portal. |

Each condition (other than collection rules) can only be used once per effect
side — the same condition can exist as both a boost and a bury, as long as the
two rules' markets don't overlap. Market selection is optional: a rule with no
markets selected applies to every market. Picking at least one market is only
required when an opposite-effect rule with the same condition already exists.

## When to use what

* Use **Boost & Bury** for storewide, condition-based pushes ("bury everything
  with few sizes left").
* Use [collection pinning](/headless/features/collections) when you want a
  specific product in a specific place on a specific page.
* Check the pinned-vs-auto verdicts in
  [collection analytics](/headless/features/collection-analytics#pinned-vs-auto)
  to see whether your manual interventions actually beat the automatic
  ranking.
