How do I pin a topic in Conversations?

Updated on

Pin a topic to the Conversations area of the page so that it will display to all site participants that visit the Conversations tool. Pinning allows instructors to bring attention to important topics that matter to the whole class.

Note:

  • You must possess the correct permissions to pin a topic
  • Topic pinning must be toggled on within the site
  • You cannot pin individual answers or comments: only the whole topic.
