Ability to pin message/files/articles shared within a channel.
Guys, please add pinned items for channels. We often pin important articles/messages/files so that the whole team can see it. Very important!

Thank you for your feedback! We are updating this as “Partialy Done” as our first step to solving for pinned posts has been released! Pinned posts allows users from a team to pin a message for everyone in the channel to be able to easily reference. While any message can be pinnable, we expect our users to use this feature to pin information like channel guidelines or important announcements. We know this doesn’t solve all pinning scenarios, and that there is still a need to make this easier for users to find, especially within the message list. We will share another update as soon as it is available.

Any update on when this feature is going to be released?

Honestly, I don't see the usecase of the new function. The pinned posts are now only visible if you open the info panel in the channel. It would make more sense if a pinned post is always visible on the top of the channel itself.

I can click 'pin' on a specific conversation in the channel now. It's even got the little green check now. But it doesn't seem to actually "pin" it anywhere.

Actually, it does something it pins the post in the Info pane in the channel! TOTALLY useless !!!! -

This would be a really nice feature to have in place. Do you have a possible ETA of when this will be available?

are we close to this? i'm sure i read it was here, but the features seems to precipitate into existence, rather than admins know about it. we spend ages searching for stuff that is apparently 'here' only to find it hasn't been released to preview or GA or even then it's wafting through the tenants unannounced.
sorry, we're so excited about new features, but would really appreciate clear messaging. -

Good to hear it's coming....hopefully soon.
Really need to pin files in chats so we can find these things fast without having to 1) scroll up chats looking for them, or 2) know the files names to search by.

Agreed. There should be more personalization like custom Buttons and Banners. There are some things that are used enough the require shortcuts.

Another vote for this feature. After moderating an MS Teams group for the past few months, this is my #1 feature request.
