Resource sidebar
The resource sidebar helps you connect related conversations and files in one accessible place. It automatically tracks links, threads, and media shared in your conversations, and lets you pin the most important ones for quick access.
How the sidebar is organized
The resource sidebar has three main sections that work together to help you access content:
Pinned
Your most important resources stay at the top. Pin threads, links, or media that provide essential context or that you'll reference repeatedly throughout the conversation. Pinned items remain visible even as new content is shared.
Recent Links
Automatically populated as people share threads and URLs in the conversation. See the last 20-30 links shared, with the most recent at the top. This includes both Glue threads and external websites—anything clickable that's been shared.
Recent Media
A visual grid of images and videos shared in the conversation. Quickly browse screenshots, designs, photos, and other visual content without scrolling through messages. Click any item to view full-size or download.
Content appears automatically in Recent sections as it's shared. When something becomes essential to the conversation's context, pin it to keep it at the top

Resources FAQ's
Who sees pinned resources?
All members of the conversation see the same pinned items in the sidebar. When you pin something, you're making it accessible to everyone in that thread, group chat, or DM.
Can I pin the same thread in multiple places?
Yes! A single thread can be pinned to as many other conversations as you need. This is useful when a key discussion relates to multiple projects or topics.
What happens if someone deletes a pinned thread?
The pin is automatically removed from all sidebars where it appeared. The reference gets cleaned up within a few minutes, so you won't see broken links.
Can external users see pinned resources?
Yes, external users who are participants in the conversation can see and interact with the resource sidebar just like internal workspace members.
Is there a limit to how many things I can pin?
There's no hard limit, but we recommend keeping your sidebar focused. If you find yourself pinning 15+ items, consider whether all of them are truly necessary for quick access.
