Pinning Highlights

How to pin catchups, meetings, targets, projects, and actions as highlights on a Performance Review.

Last updated April 2026

Pinning lets you mark the moments that mattered during the review period so they stand out when you write the review.

How to pin

On the Timeline tab of a Performance Review, every auto-pulled item (catchups, meetings, targets, projects, actions, surveys, retros) has a star button on the right of the bubble.

  • Click the star to pin the item to this review.
  • Click it again to unpin.

Pinned items show a filled amber star that stays visible without hovering. The star also follows the item across the dashboard wherever that catchup, meeting or target appears, so you can spot pinned moments at a glance.

What pinning does

  • The original item is not modified — pinning is just a bookmark for this review.
  • Other reviews of other members won't see this pin (it's scoped to one review).

What's pinnable

  • Catchups
  • Meeting notes
  • Targets
  • Projects
  • Actions
  • Surveys
  • Retrospectives

Comments and manual entries can't be pinned (they're already part of the review).

The sentiment-trend panel above the timeline highlights the best-week and worst-week catchups for the period. Each is clickable as a quick-pin shortcut.
