Pinning elements and sections
Pin elements to a container, section or page so they're always within reach for site visitors. Likewise, you can pin sections to increase the visibility of important content and navigation elements (e.g. the site menu).

Notes:
It is only possible to pin one section per page. In addition, the section needs to border the page on all breakpoints.

- Select the relevant section or element.
