# Pinning columns

Column pinning enhances data analysis by keeping essential information visible during scrolling. 

This feature ensures quick reference, facilitates efficient exploration, and maintains context in large datasets. With improved readability and the ability to compare data effortlessly, column pinning optimizes the user experience, making complex analyses more efficient and user-friendly.

To start pinning columns, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to a sheet
2. Choose a column you would like to pin
3. Click on the pin icon
