Pin and unpin Spaces
SINCE VERSION 1.1
You can pin and unpin Space Cards via an Icon-button at the top right position of the Card. If the Space is unpinned, click on the Icon-button to pin the Space. This changes the Space to the pinned state and moves the Card to the pinned Spaces area at the top of the view. If the Space is already pinned and you want to unpin the Space, then click on the Icon-button to unpin the space. This will change the Space to the unpinned state and move the Card to the unpinned Spaces area, after the pinned Spaces view. The sort order and the sort filter for the pinned Space Cards are the same as for the unpinned Space Cards. You can select them for both views as described in the section "Navigate through pages".
