You have an important post that should be prominent for all users. In this case, there is the option of marking a post as "sticky", i.e. "sticking" it to the top of the timeline.
This creates a sticky post
COYO offers the option of making a post mandatory for everyone. The "sticky" function is used for this. This post is then pinned at the top of every user’s timeline for a period of time. To remove a sticky post again, the user must be active and set the post to read by clicking on the option.
Remove "sticky" from the post later on
You can set a post back to "un-sticky" later on. Select the corresponding function on the post and set it back to the normal post status.
Necessary permissions
To create a post with the "sticky" function, you need the permission to "Create sticky timeline items". Please have an administrator check whether you have this permission if you can’t see the option when creating the post.
Making a post "sticky" later on?
Posts on timelines can only be set to "sticky" when they are created. This has been designed intentionally to prevent ancient posts from suddenly being set to "sticky" and thus appearing further up. If you want to bring an old post back into focus, you can share it and set this new post as "sticky" when you share it:
Can any post be set as "sticky"?
If a user has the permission for "Create sticky timeline items", they can theoretically set any post as "sticky". This naturally also poses the risk that the function will be over-used. We thus recommend that you to allocate this permission with care. Users soon get annoyed when they have to click away 10 posts before they can reach the latest ones.
Is it possible to see who has read a post?
There is currently no provision for allowing users to see who has received and read a post. However, you can be sure: A post pinned at the top that needs to be marked as "read" manually will attract the right amount of attention and be seen by users.
So the rule of thumb is: Use the "sticky" function on posts sparingly. This then allows other users to see straight away that a post is important.
