About This Feature
Overview
Merge and Pin in WPS on Windows helps you combine multiple chat messages into one message and pin that merged message at the top of the current chat, making key information easier to review.
Core tasks include:

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports selecting multiple chat messages first, then using Merge and Pin to send a consolidated message and keep it pinned at the top of the current chat. | Microsoft Teams supports pinning a single chat message to the top of a chat, and its official help page says only one message can be pinned at a time. | Google Chat supports pinning messages, files, and links to the Board for easier access in a conversation or space. | Notion supports page discussions, inline comments, and replies for document collaboration, but not a merged chat-message pin workflow. | Adobe Acrobat supports adding and managing comments in shared PDF review, but not merging chat messages and pinning them in a conversation. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can select multiple messages before processing them. Distinct: merging and pinning happen in one workflow for chat recap and message consolidation. | Compared with WPS: the official page describes pinning one existing message, not merging multiple messages into one pinned result. | Compared with WPS: the Board focuses on pinning existing messages or resources, not merging several chat messages into one pinned message. | Compared with WPS: it focuses on page comments and discussion threads instead of chat-message organization in a conversation. | Compared with WPS: it focuses on PDF review comments instead of chat-based message organization. |

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to turn several chat messages into one focused summary and keep it visible at the top of the current chat, WPS provides a more direct workflow for that task. The official pages for the other products focus more on single-message pinning, resource pinning, or document review comments.
