+## Tracked Items
+
+The Tracked tab lets you pin issues and PRs into a personal TODO list that you can manually reorder by priority.
+
+**Enabling:** Go to **Settings > Tabs** and toggle **Enable tracked items**. A fourth **Tracked** tab appears on the dashboard.
+
+**Pinning items:** On the Issues and Pull Requests tabs, hover over any row to reveal a bookmark icon. Click it to pin the item to your tracked list. Click it again to unpin. The bookmark appears filled and highlighted on tracked items.
+
+**Tracked tab:** Shows your pinned items in a flat list (not grouped by repo). Each item displays a type badge (Issue or PR) and uses live data from the poll cycle — statuses, check results, and labels stay current. Items whose repo is no longer being polled show a minimal fallback row with stored metadata.
+
+**Reordering:** Use the chevron buttons on the left side of each row to move items up or down. Items slide smoothly into their new position.
+
+**Auto-removal:** When a tracked issue is closed or a tracked PR is merged, it is automatically removed from the list. Closure is detected by absence from the `is:open` poll results. For PRs detected as closed by the hot poll, removal happens within seconds.
+
+**Relationship to other features:** The Tracked tab bypasses the org/repo filter — it always shows all your pinned items regardless of which repo filter is active. Ignoring an item from the Issues or Pull Requests tab also removes it from the tracked list. The tracked list is preserved when tracking is disabled and restored when re-enabled.
+

 ## Repo Pinning
 
 Each repo group header has a pin (lock) control, visible on hover on desktop and always visible on mobile. Pinning a repo keeps it at the top of the list within its tab regardless of sort order or how recently it was updated.
