Description - Would love to have the option to pin and unpin a certain update to the top of the updates thread. This would allow for easy visibility on the most up to date items, etc. Would also love the option to filter updates by date, time, etc. to quickly search through and locate a certain update. 

 

Why is this feature important to you - This would increase productivity within the Workfront platform tremendously and would avoid confusion and clearer communication with cross-functional partners looking for information via updates.

 

How would you like the feature to work - A button that says "Pin" next to "Reply" and " Like" - Once pinned there would be an option to "Unpin" 

For the filter, some sort of filtering option at the top right of updates then you can click and customize certain date, time, latest comments, etc) 

 

Current Behaviour - Updates are ordered in the time in they are posted, and all replies and updates are not able to be customized at this time making it difficult to find important updates.

These are great suggestions @hollybartlow. Comments / updates need to work more like a chat platform such as Slack. Even these fundamental ideas would make a huge difference.

Hey @hollybartlow I totally agree! In Workfront, there are numerous crucial tasks, and displaying their updates in the correct order is vital to avoid any misunderstandings. Otherwise updates can get lost in translation putting project completion at risk.

These two functionalities would be game-changers.  Great suggestions.  Many of the other platforms we use have these capabilities, so it would definitely keep WF competitive with similar workplace tools.

One of the program managers in my organization reached out and requested this feature yesterday. She wants to see this feature available for at least Programs and Projects. I think it would help keep communication clean, and if something is pinned to the Program, there should be a way to see it when you open a Project within.
