# Pinning components

To help organise your Node and its components, you can pin links to those components or folders you think are important. The pinned components will be visible on your Node opening page, under the title, and at the top of your [Node Drive Panel](/general-user-overview/node-workspace/node-drive-panel.md).

There are two easy methods to pin your components:&#x20;

* [#pin-by-dragging-component](#pin-by-dragging-component "mention")
* [#pin-from-component-menu](#pin-from-component-menu "mention")

### Pin by dragging component

The most straightforward way to pin a component is to drag it from the drive to the pinned components box above it. If there are no pins yet, the box will guide you - it says 'Drag Files here to Pin'. If you have already added a pinned component, grab the component you wish to add and a section saying 'Drop here to Pin' will appear underneath the already pinned component(s).&#x20;

### Pin from component menu

Go to the component in the *File section*. Click on the component's menu to the right of it's name '...' , and select 'Pin'. <img src="/files/ZVpqjjg2IH4RvVY2cVv9" alt="" data-size="line">

### Unpin a component

Go to the component in either the File section or the pinned component section. Click on the component's menu to the right of it's name '...' , and select 'Unpin'. <img src="/files/BLwjoSGMXQ2y0g2N6fb6" alt="" data-size="line">
