# Pin columns

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 first position. Use this option to freeze the key columns to the left so that you can focus on them.

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

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

4. To unpin all of them, select **Unpin All** and the columns will return to their original positions.
