About This Feature

Overview

Merge and Pin in WPS on macOS is a collaboration chat feature that combines multiple chat messages into one message and pins it in the current conversation, making important information easier to review.

Core capabilities include:

  • Enter multi-select mode: Right-click any message in the chat area to switch into a mode where multiple messages can be selected.
  • Merge, send, and pin: Combine selected messages into one new message and keep that merged message pinned at the top of the chat.

This feature is useful for project updates, task handoffs, and meeting follow-ups. It helps teams reduce repeated message searching and keep key information visible in one place.

Overall Conclusion
For chat collaboration, WPS is well suited to turning several related messages into one pinned summary in the same conversation. The other products mainly focus on pinning a single message or supporting document comments, so their workflows differ from a combined merge-and-pin process.
