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.

Pathetic. They just make message with green label? Are you serious?

So Slack has had Pinned Posts and Pinned Documents forever. Teams now has 'pin' but it doesn't move it to the top? It just makes it green?
Also for each channel where is the icon to VIEW pinned Posts?
Facebook has it, so does Slack.

Looks like this was added, but it seems to only place a green marker on the post, it does not seem to keep it in view.

The current pinning function doesn't do anything other than add a green frame on the left and display a push pin. The message/announcement is still lost in the middle of things that occurred before and after it. What is the point of this implementation?

The solution as it is implemented by having users pressing on the info button doesn't add any significant value. It should be pinned at the bottom of the message window or something else.

Would be very handy for PLC channels in education

Because the functionality for "pinned" does not work effectively as stated, Can we change it to be able to make the post a "tab". At least that function seems to work well and will allow important posts to be placed somewhere that is Noticeable to members of the channel - maybe with the ability to change the "TAB" order - therefore you can make your important tabs (posts) be the opening page for the channel??? just a thought

The pinned channel post as implemented really does not work. I didn't even realise there was a channel info button until right now when I went and tracked it down - plus the pinned posts have been listed beneath all the other channel information - meaning folks will need to scroll down to view it. Sadly, this is not the point of a pinned post at all. Even pinned as an announcement, it does not alert members in perpetuity (which can ideally be edited if necessary, or alternatively a new post pinned). There needs to be a way of sticking a post or a highly visible drop-down section right at the top of the channel where a fixed welcome note with instructions and links can be accessed.

I agree with the other comment - the version that's been released is not a pinned post feature if it doesn't stay pinned in the main channel. Noone is going to look in the tiny little info button area to see if there is a post. It needs to be pinned across the actual channel.

This is not useful in its current state. Almost no one is going to go to the new channel info area. We need something that will stay pinned at the top.

Please could pinned posts stick to the channel and not be hidden away in the channel info area?
Nobody goes in this area. Thanks. -

As of today, the PIN a message in a channel is available on the GCC version but does not appear to function as advertised. We have several large channels with a lot of activity that we would like to PIN a rules of behavior message in and when pinned it does nothing other than the marker stating it is pinned.. I am having the same problem as Brett
