When purchasing a desk chair, espresso maker, or TV for your dorm room, you’ll want to see how the item fits and looks in your space. [View in Your Room](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/amazon-shopping-app) uses machine learning to make sure there’s enough room to actually fit the object of your desire and help you get a sense of how a piece of furniture or décor will look in your space, so you can make a more confident purchase decision. You can move the products from one surface to another to better evaluate how these items fit in your environment, see similar products, and share with family and friends. To get started, click the “View in Your Room” button under the product image on the mobile product detail page.

Your items are now automatically and intelligently organized into useful categories such as deals, price dropped, limited availability, and more. 

Your Lists handles all the organization for you, so you can easily find what you need, when you need it, hassle-free.

Your Lists will remain private until you’re ready to share with others. Once you’re ready to share, for example with family members or a new roommate, you’ll see an “Invite” button at the top of your list. You can either copy the link, or choose the “Email” or “Text Message” option.
