# Pin information
|
|
|
|
You can use [channel
|
|
descriptions](/help/view-channel-information#view-channel-description) to pin
|
|
reference information, such as:
|
|
|
|
- Related channels
|
|
- Important topics or messages
|
|
- Documentation and other external references
|
|
|
|
Channel descriptions appear in the navigation bar at the top of the web and
|
|
desktop apps when you view the channel. You can hover over long channel
|
|
descriptions with the mouse to view them in full.
|
|
|
|
You can also pin messages for yourself by [starring](/help/star-a-message) them.
