Recently Viewed People
When I log into FamilySearch, there is a list of Recently Viewed People. Thankfully it lists quite a few. At the top is an EDIT link which allows me to remove the entry if not needed. As it is now, however, each time I open someone new the name moves to the top and the bottom one drops off. If quite a few names are encountered daily, it requires me to click again on the ones I need to keep them on the top. Under the EDIT link, it would be so helpful to add a PIN so I could pin the entries that I don't want to lose. I may need to do additional research on that person. A pin would allow it to just remain on my list. Non-pinned could continue to drop off as they get to the bottom of the list. This one feature would help so I didn't have to refresh those who I want to track every few minutes. The feature would be much like the same in email which allows us to pin important messages. Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

If you're working on a profile and will need to come back to it later, click the star to add it to your "Following" list. Unlike on your Recents list, it'll stay there until you remove it.

And, if there is a group - a family or extended family - that you are working on, you can give that group a label, once you are Following the individual profiles, to make it easier to find them in one click.

Also, you can use your browser's Bookmark feature to bookmark the link for any persons in the Tree that you are interested in. You might want to organize those bookmarks into folders.
I also sometimes copy those links into my note-taking software to keep track of links to key people in a family or line that I am researching.

I like to use the to-do list. Copy and paste the PID and leave myself a note :)
