Workfront Updates Pin Feature and Filtering

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.

Our former Project Management software allowed workers to be able to create an update, and then pin to the top to indicate this was important.

From the competitor:

Do you have a super important message that you need to position front and center of a project? Introducing "Pin to Top." Now you will have the option to pin a message to the top of a project feed! Here's how to get started:

Hover over a message and a Gear will appear in the upper right-hand side.

Select the Gear and Click "Pin this post to the top."

Voilà! Your most important message will appear at the top of the project feed.

This has recently come up in our organization as well, since our team members don't have access to edit the project details. This would be super helpful to pin important information to the top of the list.

It would be very helpful to "pin" updates to the top of the update feeds. Things like change of scope, delivery info, etc. Something that's important to the entire team. The way we have our creative team members licensed, they're unable to edit Project Details. Pinning this update to the top would allow anyone with Project access to create it and post it.

I found a similar post but it's almost 2 years old so I'm starting it again.

This would be a great feature to implement. Often users spend too much time sifting through all updates looking for a link or specific info.

It would be nice to pin comments in the Updates section so you can easily go back and reference in the future. When multiple comments and replies are posted, it's easy for important information to get buried in the list.

It would be great to have this functionality. Some projects get loads of Updates/comments and it can be tricky to find a concrete one. So pining important ones to the top of the feed or at least being able to mark them as relevant, it would be great!

 

Description - Pin or make "sticky" updates an option in WF

Why is this feature important to you - Many times, important information in updates gets lost in the thread. It would be beneficial to be able to pin updates to the top of the project updates thread so that they can be easily referenced. 

How would you like the feature to work - Important updates can be pinned or made "sticky" at the top of the project updates pages.

Current Behaviour - Current updates drop lower and lower with each update post.
