Pin and Unpin
Pin and Unpin have two distinct meanings depending on context.
1. Element position on the map
Pinning an element fixes its position on the map. A pinned element will not be moved when Tidy runs a layout algorithm.
Use this when you have placed elements deliberately and don’t want auto-layout to disturb them.
2. Window panel in the layout
Pinning a window panel (map, database, page view) fixes it in place within the window layout. A pinned panel stays visible and does not close or collapse when other panels open.
Context determines meaning
Both uses share the same verb. The context makes the meaning clear: pinning an element = position lock; pinning a panel = layout lock.
