About This Feature

Overview

Pin or Unpin helps you manage the display order of conversations in WPS collaboration on macOS. After you pin a conversation, it stays in the pinned area at the top of the sidebar for faster access. After you unpin it, the conversation leaves the pinned area and returns to its regular order in the list.

Core tasks include:

Pin a conversation: Keep frequently used chats at the top of the sidebar for quicker access.
Unpin a conversation: Remove priority placement when it is no longer needed and keep the list organized.

This feature is useful for frequent communication, project collaboration, and switching between multiple conversations. A pin icon appears next to pinned conversations so you can identify them quickly.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports right-clicking a conversation in the list to pin or unpin it. After pinning, the conversation stays at the top of the sidebar and shows a pin icon.	Microsoft Teams officially documents pinning a chat message to the top of a chat. A related Microsoft Q&A page for Mac describes pinned chats appearing in a pinned list above other chats.	Google Chat officially supports pinning or unpinning a conversation or space to the top of the list on desktop.	Notion does not provide the same conversation-list pinning workflow. The closest official capability is adding pages to Favorites in the sidebar for quicker access.	Adobe Acrobat does not provide conversation pinning. The closest official capability is starring files for quick access in Home view.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS focuses directly on conversation-list management, with clear pin and unpin actions for frequent collaboration switching.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page focuses on pinned messages inside a chat rather than a conversation list workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat offers a similar top-of-list pinning workflow, so the capability is close.	Compared with WPS: Notion Favorites are designed for page navigation, not live conversation list management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Starred files organize document access rather than collaboration chats.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Pin or Unpin is centered on managing collaboration conversations directly from the sidebar. Its workflow is close to Google Chat for list-level pinning, while Notion and Adobe provide only nearby organization features rather than the same chat-focused behavior.
