  2. Select the Pin icon at the bottom center of the card. 
  3. Enter the date and time or duration of time you'd like for the message to stay pinned on Vestaboard, then tap Pin.

To pin a message from the Compose view:

  2. Once ready to share, tap the dropdown arrow next to Send and select Pin.
  3. Enter the date and time or duration of time you'd like for the message to stay pinned on Vestaboard, then tap Pin.


To unpin a message:
