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.

| Capability Summary | Supports selecting multiple chat messages first, then using More to run Merge and Pin so several messages are organized into one pinned message. | Microsoft Teams supports pinning a single chat message to the top of a chat for reference, and only one message can be pinned at a time. | Google Chat supports pinning messages, files, and links to the Board in conversations or spaces for easier access. | Notion supports page-level discussions and comment threads for collaboration around page content, rather than merged chat messages pinned in a conversation. | Adobe Acrobat supports comments, replies, and comment management in shared reviews, which fits document review rather than chat message pinning. |

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.
