# Pinning the Outlook Add-in

Pinning your Outlook add-in means that the add-in stays open when you browse emails, instead of closing and re-opening the add-in each time. Pinning can be toggled on and off at the click of a button.

### **Pin Add-in** <a href="#pin-add-in" id="pin-add-in"></a>

To pin your add-in to the side, firstly open the add-in's side panel. At the top right of this panel in the title section you will notice a small "Pin" icon. Clicking this pin will toggle on and off the pinning of your add-in window.
