Where do pinned documents appear in Word?

Pinned documents in Microsoft Word appear at the top of the Recent documents list. This feature allows users to access frequently used files quickly and conveniently, enhancing workflow efficiency.

When you pin a document, it remains readily accessible in the Recent section, regardless of how often you open or edit other documents. This location is ideal for regularly used files, as it keeps them visible and prioritizes them for easy retrieval.

Other options do not represent the typical behavior of pinned documents. For example, folders serve as storage locations for documents rather than a display feature specific to pinning. The main menu does not typically showcase individual documents, and the desktop serves as a file location, not a designated area for pinned Word documents. This makes it clear that the answer focuses on how users interact with their most important documents within the application.
