The updates section allows you and your team to communicate, social media style, inside an item, keeping all the conversations about a specific task or project in the same place and in context. There are so many cool things you can do with this section! Let's have a look 👀

Pinning important updates

If you need to keep one particular update at the top of your updates feed, all you need to do is pin it to the top! Once you pin the update, it will stay there, even as your team continues to add more updates to that feed. 

Bookmark a post

It's like an old school thumbtack board, bookmarking an important post to refer to frequently! Or think of it as a "favorite post." Once you bookmark your post, you can find it in your Inbox.

Write a text right to left (RTL)

Click into any item's update's feed and click the symbol change text direction as seen below. Then pick if you want your text to be from right to left or left to right as below. And there you have it!
