About This Feature

Overview

Pin/Unpin helps you manage the display order of collaboration conversations in WPS on Windows. You can pin frequently used conversations to the top area of the sidebar for faster access, and unpin them when they no longer need priority placement.

Core tasks include:

Pin a conversation: Keep a selected conversation fixed at the top of the sidebar.
Unpin a conversation: Remove a pinned conversation from the top area and return it to its original list order.

This feature is useful for daily collaboration, project follow-up, and managing high-frequency work chats. It reduces the time spent searching through long conversation lists and uses a pin icon to show the current status.

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.	Teams supports pinning a single chat message to the top of a chat for everyone in that chat. The official page focuses on message-level pinning.	Google Chat supports pinning or unpinning a conversation or space so it stays at the top of the list.	Notion lets you add pages to Favorites so they appear in the sidebar for quick access. This is a nearby organization feature for pages rather than chat conversations.	Acrobat provides Starred files in Home so important files can be collected for quick access. It does not provide the same conversation pinning workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: conversation-level pin and unpin actions are handled directly from the conversation list, with a visible pin-state indicator.	Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page centers on pinned messages inside a chat, not conversation-list ordering.	Compared with WPS: Google Chat is the closest match because it also supports conversation-level Pin/Unpin.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page favorites and sidebar organization instead of live conversation-list management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe offers file starring for access management, not collaboration conversation pinning.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Pin/Unpin is focused on organizing the collaboration conversation list itself on Windows. Google Chat offers the closest official comparison for conversation-level pinning, while Microsoft, Notion, and Adobe emphasize adjacent workflows such as pinned messages, favorites, or starred files.
