How do I pin an important topic to the top of a space?

I have a welcome post I want pinned to the top of a space so new members always see it first. How do I pin a topic, and can I pin more than one?

This deserves more votes. It is a small change with an outsized impact on day-to-day use.

Solid breakdown. The only thing I would add is to back up before making the change — better safe than sorry.

Tried this on a staging copy first and it behaved exactly as described. Confident enough to roll it to production now.

I respectfully disagree on one detail. In my setup the opposite held true, though I suspect it comes down to community size.

Short answer: yes, and here is the supported path.

  1. Open the relevant settings panel.
  2. Make the change there rather than editing files.
  3. Save, then reload to confirm.

Doing it this way means your change survives updates. Hand-editing files does not.

Great point. I had not considered the angle you raised in the second paragraph — it reframes the whole thing for me.
