# Pin columns

Pinning a column allows you to keep specific columns visible on the left side of a table, even while scrolling the table horizontally. 

When there are too many columns in the table and you want to freeze a few important ones, you can pin them. When you pin a column, it moves to the left, ensuring that key columns, like IDs or descriptions, remain visible while other columns scroll. 

* Hover over the column header you want to pin, then click the three-dot menu and select **Pin** to pin it to the left. We will pin the 'Product Name' column here.

The column is now pinned.

* To unpin a column, choose **Unpin** from the same menu on the header.

* You can pin multiple columns as shown below.

* To unpin all of them, select **Unpin All.** All columns get unpinned, returning to their original positions.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.powertable.com/explore-powertable/working-with-powertable/explore-data/pin-columns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
