Description

I'd love to have an option for messages pinned on top of chat channels, for easy reference.

This would be very useful for to-do lists, repeated information that has to be commented various times, team/project updates, important warnings, help request, etc.

Ideally, the pinned messages should be allowed to be made by "Admins" or "Writers" to avoid abuse.

Research direction

Start by locating the chat-channel message and Admin/Writer permission entry points in the client. Define how pinned messages are created, displayed, updated, and removed, then identify the relevant tests or add coverage for permissions and pin visibility; done means authorized users can manage pins and channel members can easily reference them.
