Pin messages

Pin an important message in a channel so it stays easy to find.

What are pinned messages?

Pinned messages are messages kept in their own list so everyone in the channel can find them again. Use them for information people need often: rules, a shared link, or a decision the group made.

Pinning needs the Manage Pinned Messages permission, so not everyone in a channel can pin. Anyone can read the pinned list.

Pinned messages also carry a pinned tag under the message itself, so you can see one has been pinned while scrolling.
