Step-by-Step Flow

Main Path (Happy Path)

Step 1: Locate Chat

• User Action: Hover over the chat in sidebar.

Step 2: Pin

• User Action: Click Pin Icon (Thumbtack).
• System Response:
  • Chat moves to “Pinned” section at top of list.
  • Icon state changes to “Filled/Active”.

Step 3: Unpin (Reversal)

• User Action: Click Pin Icon again.
• System Response: Chat returns to chronological order in normal list.

Design Considerations

• Section Separation: Visually distinguish “Pinned” list from “Recent” list with a divider or header.
• Limit: Soft limit (e.g., 5-10 pins) to prevent “Pin clutter”.
