Pin comments/messages to a Channel
completed

The ability to add bookmarks/pinned items to the top of a channel for quick access. This should be possible for any ClickUp object that can be viewed and modified right within the channel or external links that just allow for quick navigation.

I heavily rely on ClickUp mobile for messaging. I would love to see this feature become available there.

We've launched the ability to pin comments directly to a Channel or DM!
Pinned messages are tagged with a small label in the message feed itself, and any pinned messages can be found in the floating sidebar too!
To pin a message, click the ellipsis menu or right click and select "Pin to Channel"
Let us know if you have any feedback after testing it!

Happy this functionality has been released! I have to comment honestly that the expectation of what this would function like is a bit off from the reality that you have released today - this is more of a 'public save for later'. Every other software where Pinned messaged is implemented, the message is rolled up to some kind of header at the top of the chat - it's pinned to the top so that you are reminded of it every time you come to the chat.
What I really like about your implementation is that you can have more than one pin, and they are collected in the right side bar. That is nice.
What I don't like is that the highlight colour for the Pin is the same as Save for Later. And that there is no banner type pin at the top of the chat indicating that there is a pinned message that the participants of the chat need to pay attention to or be able to come back to easily.
I hope this perspective is helpful feedback and not a wet blanket on the release.

Brendan W, can we have this on Clickup mobile?
Brendan W
Reed Holland: Hopefully soon!
Brendan W
Angus Innes: Thanks for the feedback! The intention here was very much to bring tried-and-true functionality from the likes of Discord, Teams, Slack, etc., which all have pinned-message functionality, as we added.
A single pinned message is interesting, though; you're basically saying you want it visible at all times, no matter where the user is in the Channel. Have you tried to use a bookmark card on a Channel for this (example pictured below)

Brendan W I hope on all platforms. The inconsistencies are taxing to the CLickUp brand!. You had a great indicator system where the words with flow colors when brain was working, and it showed only that way in one version of CLickUp.. the other would show a spinning grey circle not as easy to spot quickly and not nearly as on brand as the colored version. I'd LOVE to see that put back, and added everywhere Brain lives...or someone is typing for that matter...

‼️ IMPORTANT FEEDBACK, IT'S REALLY NEEDED ‼
Mahinur Khan
I’d love to share some feedback based on our experience so far:
1: It would be great to have a feature that lets us pin any message in the chat.
2: Please add chat to the Quick Action Menu, so we can pin it and access it from anywhere in ClickUp. It can be a bit uncomfortable when writing something in a task, then needing to switch to chat and back again. If we could access it directly from the top, that would be amazing!
3: When replying in a thread, we can’t send a message as “Also send as direct message.” This is super important. Hopefully, in the near future, we’ll have this feature in ClickUp chats!
4: In any message, we currently can’t react with emojis easily. I noticed it’s available on mobile, but only with the Like button. I didn’t see it in the ClickUp Mac app.
5: Lastly, a message seen feature would be really helpful. It should definitely be there. It’s a small but important thing.
Thanks again for everything!
Veronica
Just to add to this - it would be great if when we flag a message with the 'later' flag, that this gets added to the Bookmark tab in the same list/channel.
Brendan W
Veronica: Saving for Later is for your own personal use, but it does sound like you'd like to pin a message for others (which would be a different flow). Thanks for the feedback!

Pinned messages
Théo Tcheng
Good morning,
Add the possibility of pinning messages in a channel accessible to everyone (same operation as on Slack).
Thanks!
Pothik Karim
Pinned posts, web links (bookmarks), and files should all be organized in the channel header by category as they're posted.
Brendan W
Pothik Karim: Hey there! We have the ability to add "Cards" to the top of every Chat Channel already. Are you looking for them to be pinned there automatically when links or files are sent in messages in that channel?
Pothik Karim
Brendan W yes please. Here's a screenshot from a Slack channel header. As files were shared, they were automatically added to a Files tab - automatically organized and easy to search. Same for Pinned posts, web links (bookmarks), etc.
We were using Announcements as a substitute for Pinned Posts, but when 4.0 came out, all announcements in any channel all got lumped into the Posts section of the sidebar. That makes 0 sense and whomever made that change should frankly be fired.

Pothik Karim: Thanks for the additional context. We have text cards and bookmarks you can utilize today, and we hope to add files (alongside pinning of comments) in the future!
Pothik Karim
Brendan W The delay in getting this pinned post feature implemented in unacceptable.
You took away announcements and we have no feature or ability to highlight important messages in a channel.
Figure it out already
