# Pins

> Pinned context is always available to your agents, no matter when or where they're asked.

Pins let you surface the most important context in a Space so your agents always have it available. Think of a pin as telling your agents: "This is always relevant here."

## What you can pin

* A message or thread from chat
* A document or note
* A key excerpt or decision
* An artifact created by an agent

Anything pinned in a Space is part of the standing context your agents work from in that Space.

## How to pin something

**From chat:** Hover over any message and click the **Pin** icon. Select the Space to pin it to (usually the current one).

**From a document:** Open the document, click the **...** menu, and choose **Pin to Space**.

**From an artifact:** Open the artifact, then use the **Pin** option from the artifact menu.

## Why pins matter

Agents read from what's in the Space: threads, docs, and connected tools. Pins are how you make sure the most critical context is always at the top of that pile.

Good things to pin:

* The project brief or one-pager
* Key decisions that shouldn't be re-litigated
* The current source-of-truth doc for a running project
* Instructions specific to this Space (e.g. "Always use this tone for Acme Corp")

## Managing pins

View all pins in a Space from the **Pins** tab in the Space sidebar.

To remove a pin, open the Pins tab, hover over the pin, and click **Remove**.

<Note>
  Removing a pin doesn't delete the original content. It just removes it from the standing context your agents read from.
</Note>

## Tips

<Tip>
  Pin the brief when you create a Space. Your agents will work from it immediately, without any additional prompting from your team.
</Tip>

* Keep pins focused. A Space with 50 pinned items has noise, not context.
* Update pins when a doc becomes outdated. Stale pins can mislead your agents.
* Use pins for persistent instructions, things like tone, format preferences, or standing constraints for this Space.
