Keep one Room at the top
Pin the Room you need now so it stays above the rest of its section in PingRoom’s browser app.
The school pickup Room matters twice a day. The neighborhood Room matters on weekends. The project Room matters until Friday’s handoff is done.
When one Room needs your attention now, you should not have to find it again every time you open the list. In PingRoom’s browser app, you can pin a Room so it stays above the other Rooms in the same section.
Pinning changes the order on the browser you are using. It does not notify anyone, change the Room for other members, or move it out of its folder.
On the cover: Pingo the Pigeon™, our official mascot and fictional Chief Marketing Officer, takes the long ramp toward the one tile at the top. It is an editorial metaphor, not a product screen or a claim that Pingo can open, reorder, or inspect anyone’s Rooms. AI-generated artwork using approved Pingo references.
Pin the Room you need now
Open your Rooms on the web, then:
- On a computer, right-click the Room. On a touch device, press and hold it.
- Choose Pin.
- The Room moves above the unpinned Rooms in its current section.
Pin another Room and the newer pin takes the highest position. Choose Unpin from the same menu when that Room no longer needs the shortcut.
A pin is not a permanent rank. It gives today’s active Room a predictable place while the moment lasts.
Keep the folder; change the priority
Suppose you have a Family folder with Rooms for school pickup, groceries, and the weekend plan. Pinning school pickup keeps it at the top of Family. It does not pull the Room into a separate global pile or erase the folder structure you already made.
The same rule applies to Rooms outside a folder: a pinned Room rises to the top of All rooms. Unpin it and it returns to the section’s ordinary order.
| Situation | Pin now | Unpin when |
|---|---|---|
| A pickup plan is active this week | School pickup | The week is over |
| A volunteer shift still needs coverage | Saturday shift | Someone takes it |
| A launch or live event is close | Event Room | The event is done |
| A project is nearing a handoff | Project Room | The handoff is complete |
These are examples, not customer stories. Pinning only changes how your own list is arranged.
Pingo’s low-angle inspection makes the hierarchy literal: one tile stays above the rest. His fictional CMO title does not give him access to the Room, its members, or its Pings.
Treat a pin as a temporary shortcut
A short pin list remains useful because every item has a reason to be there. If everything is pinned, the top of the list becomes another list to search.
A simple habit works well:
- Pin the Room tied to the next event or action.
- Leave long-term categories to folders.
- Unpin the Room when the reason has passed.
That keeps the organization legible without turning it into a maintenance project.
The pin stays on this device
Room pins are stored locally in the browser. Pinning on a laptop does not carry the same order to another computer, another browser profile, or the native mobile app. Folders have their own synchronization behavior; the pin itself is the local shortcut.
The Room that belongs at the top of your work computer therefore does not take over the list on your phone.
Open PingRoom on the web, pin the Room connected to the next thing that matters, and let the rest keep their place.
