III. FAQs

How can I pin a Doc to the top in a message list?

When someone has left a comment on your Doc, @mentioned you in a Doc, or shared a Doc link with you and sent you a notification, the corresponding Doc will appear in your message list and you can pin the Doc to the top in the same way you do with a chat.

If you want to pin to the top a Doc that isn't included in your message list, you need to add it to your message list first. To do this, follow the procedure below:

1.Desktop app: Enter a keyword in the quick search bar to find the desired Doc and then click it. The Doc will then appear at the top of your message list.

Note: Only Docs that have been displayed in your inbox before can be pinned to the top.

2.Mobile app: Enter a keyword in the quick search bar to find the desired Doc, click it to open and then exit it. The Doc will then appear at the top of your message list.

3.You can then right-click the Doc on the desktop app, or swipe left on the mobile app, and choose Pin to QuickSwitcher to display the Doc at the top.
