Pinning is personal for each user. If you pin a project, it does not affect the project order for other team members.

1. Pin a Project

  • Find the project you want to keep at the top.
  • Click the pin icon on the project card.

Once pinned, the project will move to the top of the project list.

The project will return to the regular project order.

If you pin several projects, the most recently pinned project appears at the top of the pinned group.

Unpinned projects keep the standard project ordering used in your account.

4. Pin Limit

Each user can pin up to 5 projects.

If you already have 5 pinned projects and try to pin another one, the project will not be pinned.

Note: To pin another project, unpin one of your currently pinned projects first.
