    The pin turns blue and the facet moves to the Pinned Facets section.

  2. To unpin a facet, find the facet in the Pinned Facets list and click the blue pin ( Pin selector ).
    The pin turns gray and the facet moves to the Dynamic Facets section.

    Pinned and dynamic facets

NOTE
Pinned facet ordering may be inconsistent if there are two labels with the same name.

Move pinned facet

NOTE
The ordering of pinned facets is only supported in headless implementations. If ordered facets are needed, use the Live Search PLP widget.

The order of pinned facets can be changed by moving the row to a different position. Pinned facets have a Move icon ( Move selector ) at the beginning of the row. Unlike pinned facets, dynamic facets cannot be moved.

  1. Find the facet in the Pinned Facets section of the list.
  2. Use the Move ( Move selector ) icon to drag the row to a new position in the Pinned Facets section.
    After the changes are published, the reordered facets appear in the storefront Filters list.

  2. Click Delete.
  3. When prompted to confirm, click Delete facet.
    The facet is removed from the storefront after the changes are published.
