# Pinning columns

Column pinning enhances data analysis by keeping essential information visible during scrolling.&#x20;

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.qommentary.com/qommentary-table/usability/pinning-columns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
