Hubs

Pinning content to a hub

Pin a useful reply, or documents and folders from your library, so every chat in the hub can use them.

Step 1

Pin a reply from a hub chat

Under a reply in a hub chat, press the pin icon; its tooltip reads Pin to hub. It only appears in hub chats, never in your regular ones.

Step 2

Give it a title

The Pin to hub window asks for a Document title, filled in from the start of the reply, up to 100 characters. Press Pin to hub and the reply is saved as a document and pinned to the hub in one step.

Step 3

Pinned replies stand out

A pinned reply's pin turns indigo and filled. Press it again to unpin; you are asked to confirm, and the saved document stays where it is.

Step 4

Pin from your library

Open the hub's Files tab and press Add. Pick documents or whole folders in the window that opens and press Pin selected. Nothing is copied; the hub links to them. While nothing is pinned yet, the tab shows large From library and Upload file buttons instead. You can only pin documents and folders you can open yourself; anything else is refused.

Step 6

Or upload a file

Upload adds files from your computer that live only in this hub, marked Local; each can be up to 150 MB, or 50 MB for spreadsheets and images. Editors and admins can add, upload and unpin; an uploaded file can be deleted by an admin or by whoever uploaded it.

Step 7

Where pinned content is used

Everything pinned is part of the hub's shared context. It shows in the Files tab, where folders expand to their files and documents open for preview, and under Always included when a new chat in the hub is set up. When someone chats in the hub, the AI only reads the pinned files that person can open.

Step 8

Unpinning keeps the document

Remove an item from the Files tab with its cross, or unpin a reply. Only the link to the hub goes; the document itself stays in your library. Pins already on the hub are not checked again, so unpinning always works, even for a pin someone else added.

Unpin from hub

Remove this response from the hub's resources? The saved document will remain, but it will no longer be pinned to this hub.
