Viewing and Repinning Pins
All items pinned on Pinterest have the same overall format. You can view more information about any pin, as well as the person who pinned it. You can also “repin” a pin to one of your own boards.

Repin a Pin
Some people say that Pinterest is a little like a refrigerator covered with magnets holding up tons of photos and drawings. You can find lots of interesting items pinned from other users—and then “repin” them to your own personal boards.
Mouse over the item you want to repin and click the Pin It button. The Pick a Board panel displays.
- Accept the existing description or click the description to enter your own.
Click the board to which you want to pin this item. The item is now pinned to that board.
