Hi, 2bets!

Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities with your question regarding Notes. If I understand, you want to know what a pinned note is. I'd be happy to provide you with some information!

Pinning a note 'pins' it at the top of the Notes app, so you can easily find and access it later, and no matter how many new notes you add, or how many old notes you edit, pinned notes are always where you pinned them. This is especially convenient for notes you need access to frequently, or that have important information you'd like to keep track of. You can choose which notes, if any, are pinned by sliding left-to-right over the note. To unpin, swipe left-to-right again on the note. For more information check out the following from Organize your notes - iPhone User Guide :

Pin an important note. To keep a note at the top of the notes list, swipe right on the note in the list, then tap the pin. Your pinned notes show up on all your Apple devices where you’re signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.



Cheers!
