Mark team as favorite

Marking a team as a favorite keeps it pinned at the top of your sidebar for quick access.

You can favorite a team in two ways:

  • From the sidebar: Hover over the team, click the kebab menu (⋮), then select Favorite.

  • Inside the team: At the top of the team screen, click the star icon next to the team name to mark that team as Favorite.

To remove a team from your favorites, repeat the same steps and select Unfavorite.
