Pinning Topics

Pinning keeps a topic permanently at the top of the Discussion sheet, regardless of recent activity. Use pinning to highlight the most important or reference topics in a thread.

Pinning a topic

1. Click the ⋯ menu on the topic card
2. Select Pin topic

The topic moves to the top of the list and displays a pin indicator (📌) on its card.

Unpinning a topic

1. Click the ⋯ menu on the pinned topic
2. Select Unpin topic

The topic returns to its regular position in the activity-ordered list.

Multiple pinned topics

You can pin multiple topics simultaneously. Pinned topics appear in a dedicated pinned section at the top of the sheet, sorted by the order they were pinned (most recently pinned first).

Who can pin

Any user who can see a Public Discussion sheet can pin topics. On a Private sheet, only the sheet owner can pin.

When to pin

• Decisions — pin the topic containing the final decision on a design or implementation question
• Context — pin a background or context post that readers should see first
• Announcements — pin a status update or important notice that the whole team should see

Tip: Combine pinning with resolving — resolve topics that are settled and pin topics that are still relevant reference material. This keeps the active conversation clean while preserving important decisions.
