Pin Views in ClickUp

In ClickUp, you can pin a view to keep your most important work easy to find at the top of any location. Pinned views help teams quickly access dashboards, lists, and other views they use every day.

This how-to guide explains how to pin, reorder, and remove pinned views, as well as where your pinned views appear inside ClickUp.

What is a pinned view in ClickUp?

A pinned view in ClickUp is a view that is fixed to a special area above the view bar. This makes the view accessible from any location that shares access to it.

When you pin a view:

• It appears in a pinned views strip above the view bar.
• It stays visible as you switch between different views in the same location.
• It can be reordered for quick access.
• It can be removed from the pinned area at any time without deleting the view.

Pinned views work the same way across tasks, lists, folders, spaces, and other locations where you can add views in ClickUp.

Where pinned views appear in ClickUp

Once you pin a view in ClickUp, you will see a separate pinned area at the top of the view bar.

Pinned views:

• Display above the standard view tabs in the view bar.
• Show the view type and name, just like regular views.
• Can be accessed from anywhere that has access to that view.

The pinned section makes it easy to keep your most-used views, such as dashboards or high-priority lists, front and center in ClickUp.

How to pin a view in ClickUp

You can pin any existing view from the view bar. Follow these steps to pin a view in ClickUp:

1. Open the location that contains the view you want to pin. This could be a list, folder, space, or other area in ClickUp.

2. In the view bar, find the view you want to pin.

3. Hover over the view name to display additional options.

4. Click the three-dot menu (more options) for that view.

5. Select Pin view from the menu.

After you select Pin view, the view moves into the pinned area above the view bar. You can still open it like any other view in ClickUp.

Pin a default view in ClickUp

You might have a default view that opens first in a location. If you want that view to always be easy to reach, you can pin it as well.

1. Open the default view in your ClickUp location.

2. Click the three-dot menu at the top of the view tab.

3. Choose Pin view.

This ensures that your default view stays visible in the pinned area, even if you add or switch to other views.

How to access pinned views in ClickUp

Accessing a pinned view in ClickUp is simple. Once a view is pinned, it remains in the pinned section until you remove it.

To open a pinned view:

1. Go to any location that has access to the pinned view.

2. Look at the pinned views strip above the view bar.

3. Click the pinned view you want to open.

ClickUp immediately loads that view, letting you jump between pinned views and standard views without searching through multiple locations.

How to reorder pinned views in ClickUp

You can reorder pinned views in ClickUp to match your workflow. Place the most important views first so they are faster to click.

To reorder pinned views:

1. Move your cursor to the pinned views section above the view bar.

2. Click and hold the pinned view you want to move.

3. Drag the pinned view left or right to change its position.

4. Release the mouse button to drop the view into its new spot.

The new order is saved automatically. This lets you keep your most frequently used ClickUp views at the front of the pinned area.

How to unpin a view in ClickUp

If you no longer need a view in the pinned area, you can unpin it. Unpinning does not delete the view; it only removes it from the pinned section.

To unpin a view in ClickUp:

1. Find the pinned view in the pinned views strip above the view bar.

2. Hover over the pinned view to reveal the three-dot menu.

3. Click the three-dot menu.

4. Select Unpin view.

The view moves back to the regular view bar if it is available there, or it remains accessible wherever it was originally created in ClickUp.
