# How to pin a task

### Why pin a task

Pinning a task to the user interface helps by making important tasks easy to reach. This way users can stay focused and quickly get things done without searching through menus. It removes some of the clicking around the user has to do to update progress on a specific task.

### Pin a task

Open the Tasks side menu, and click the <i class="fa-thumbtack">:thumbtack:</i> icon on the task that you would like to pin. This will add a sidebar to your page.
