Pinning Comments

Not every comment carries the same weight. Some are passing thoughts, others are critical action items or key decisions. Pinning lets you elevate the comments that matter most so they stay front and centre instead of getting buried in the thread.

What Pinning Does

Section titled “What Pinning Does”

When you pin a comment, two things happen:

  1. It moves to the top of the comments widget. Pinned comments always appear above unpinned ones, regardless of when they were posted. You see them immediately when you open the comments tab.

  2. If the comment is timestamped, its marker becomes persistent on the waveform. A pinned timestamped comment’s marker stays visually prominent, making it easy to spot the exact moments that need attention.

This combination means pinned comments act as anchored reminders — they are always visible in the widget and always marked on the waveform.

How to Pin a Comment

Section titled “How to Pin a Comment”
  1. Open the comments widget in the activity panel for the track you are working on
  2. Find the comment you want to pin
  3. Click the pin icon on the comment (or use the comment’s context menu)
  4. The comment moves to the top of the list and shows a pin indicator

That is it. The comment is now pinned.

How to Unpin a Comment

Section titled “How to Unpin a Comment”
  1. Find the pinned comment at the top of the comments widget
  2. Click the pin icon again to toggle it off
  3. The comment returns to its normal chronological position in the thread

Who Can Pin and Unpin

Section titled “Who Can Pin and Unpin”
  • Track owners can pin or unpin any comment on their tracks, regardless of who wrote it
  • You can always pin or unpin your own comments on tracks you have access to

This means if a collaborator leaves important feedback, you can pin it yourself to keep it visible while you work through the changes.

When to Pin Comments

Section titled “When to Pin Comments”

Pinning works best for comments that need to stay visible over time. Here are some good use cases:

Key Action Items

Section titled “Key Action Items”

Pin feedback that requires a specific change: “The low end needs tightening before this goes to mastering.” Keep it pinned until the issue is resolved, then unpin when done.

Critical Mix Notes

Section titled “Critical Mix Notes”

When you get a round of feedback and some items are must-fix while others are nice-to-have, pin the must-fix items. You can glance at the top of the comments widget to see what is still outstanding.

Important Decisions

Section titled “Important Decisions”

If a comment captures a decision about the track’s direction — “We are going with the B section arrangement” — pin it so everyone on the project can see it without scrolling through older comments.

Persistent Waveform Markers

Section titled “Persistent Waveform Markers”

For timestamped comments, pinning is especially useful because the markers stay prominent on the waveform. If you need to keep coming back to a specific moment (say, a problematic transition), pinning the comment makes the marker stand out every time you load the track.

Multiple Pinned Comments

Section titled “Multiple Pinned Comments”

You can pin more than one comment on a track. All pinned comments appear at the top of the widget, sorted by the time they were pinned. If you have several pinned items, they form a quick summary of what needs attention.

However, try not to pin everything. If every comment is pinned, none of them stand out. Reserve pinning for the comments that genuinely need to stay visible.

Pinned Comments and Todos

Section titled “Pinned Comments and Todos”

Pinned comments and todos serve complementary purposes:

  • Pin a comment to keep it visible as a reference or reminder
  • Create a todo from a comment to add it to your task list with a due date and assignee

You can do both — pin a comment for visibility and also create a todo from it for tracking. The comment stays pinned in the comments widget while the todo appears in your todos widget.

Pinned Comments on Shared Tracks

Section titled “Pinned Comments on Shared Tracks”

When you share a track, pinned comments are visible to recipients on the shared page. This is a good way to highlight context for collaborators — pin a comment like “This is the latest mix, feedback on the vocals appreciated” so it appears prominently when they open the link.
