In a layout template, you can pin the pages that you want users to always have available at the top of Adobe Workfront. These can be either pages accessed via the Main Menu Main menu icon or the Main Menu Main menu icon when available, or dashboards.

Any pins that your users have added on their own are displayed to the right of the pins you add in the layout template.

For more information about pinning pages, see Pin pages to customize your workspace.
