Use this interactive demo to learn how to pin and reorder streams in your Hootsuite dashboard.

Quick summary

Pinning streams in the Hootsuite dashboard lets you fix your most important social media feeds to a specific position for faster access. By dragging and dropping a stream to the first slot on the left, you keep priority content always visible without scrolling.

Steps

Open the Hootsuite stream dashboard and use the navigation arrows in the right-side corner to move around the board.
Find the specific stream you want to pin, then drag it to the first position on the left side.
Drop the stream into your desired position, using the broken lines as alignment guides to place the tab accurately.
Once the steps are complete, the selected stream is pinned to its fixed position, making it easy to view and access at any time.

📌 Why this matters

Pinning streams in the Hootsuite dashboard gives social media managers instant access to their highest-priority feeds without manually scrolling through cluttered boards. This drag-and-drop stream organization feature reduces time spent navigating the dashboard and keeps critical social monitoring front and center. For teams managing multiple social accounts and campaigns, a fixed stream layout improves workflow efficiency and ensures no key conversation or mention is missed. Hootsuite's pinned streams feature is especially valuable for community managers and social media teams who need a consistent, customized view of their most important channels.
