You can pin visuals for easy access to frequently asked questions. Instead of asking the same question repeatedly, you can add the visual answer to your pinboard and access it in a single click. Pinning visuals also makes it easier to share interesting insights and collaborate on data narratives with other users. From within your pinboard, you can share any visual with others through a URL.
