  • When the page opens, locate the post you wish to pin to top. Then click the 3 dots on top of the post.
  • Finally, on the drop-down that is displayed, click Pin to top of page.
  • The post will move right to the top of your page. A pin icon will be displayed on top of the post as well. To unpin the post, click the 3 dots above it. Then click Unpin from top of post (see the second image below).
