How to pin a note in BoardSnap — and why it matters.
Short answer
In BoardSnap, you pin a note from within a project's context panel. Open the project, find the note or context you want to persist, and tap the pin icon. Pinned notes are included in every subsequent AI chat in that project — BoardSnap AI reads them as standing context without you having to re-paste anything.
## How pinning works
Every project in BoardSnap has a context panel where you can write notes, constraints, or background information relevant to that project. Once you pin a note, it becomes part of the project's standing memory.
When you open a new AI chat about a board in that project, BoardSnap AI automatically includes your pinned notes as context. You don't have to remind it every time. It doesn't drift.
## What to pin
Pinned context works best for information that's true across every board in the project — not just one meeting's output:
- Team roster and roles — so BoardSnap knows who "Sarah" is when assigning action items
- Recurring constraints — budget caps, tech stack decisions, non-negotiables
- Brand voice guidelines — tone words, phrases to avoid, terminology the team uses
- Sprint goal or OKR — so every board is interpreted in the context of the quarter's objective
- Client background — industry, company size, what they care about
## What pinned context is not
Pinned context is not a note-taking app. It's not meant for capturing the output of individual boards — that's what each board's summary and action items are for. Pin the standing facts; let each snap capture the ephemeral decisions.
## Updating pinned notes
You can edit or unpin any note at any time. Changes take effect in the next AI chat — you don't need to clear history or restart the project.
## Free tier and pinned context
Pinned context is available on both free and Pro tiers within your one free project. The project AI chat that uses the pinned context most powerfully is a Pro feature.
Frequently asked
How many notes can I pin per project?
There is no fixed cap on pinned notes, but the AI has a context window limit. Keep pinned notes focused and relevant rather than dumping everything in — concise context performs better than exhaustive context.
Does pinning a note affect all boards in the project?
Yes. Pinned notes are project-level, not board-level. They apply to every AI chat in the project going forward.
