+Configuration
+-------------
+
+You can use the :ref:`max_rec` setting to define a maximum recommendation level
+for matches from Discogs::
+
+    match:
+        max_rec:
+            discogs: medium
+
+This example would prevent the auto-tagger from automatically applying a
+strong match from Discogs, and give you a chance to confirm the changes. The
+default is ``strong``.
