# Pinned Columns

You can use the **Pinned Columns** feature to efficiently view wide datasets in a list.\
Even when scrolling horizontally, the selected columns remain visible on the screen, allowing you to easily compare other column values without losing track of key identifiers such as customer names or unique IDs. This feature greatly improves readability and work efficiency when navigating or editing long tables, making it easier to understand and manage complex data quickly.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can pin up to **3 columns** at a time.
{% endhint %}
