Hello, I have seen some other topics requesting this many years ago but cannot find if there was ever a solution.

I am looking for a way that an admin/moderator can mark & highlight a topic response as important. Similar in functionality to the way in the Q&A forum you can check off an approved answer - but for all layouts. 

For example in an extended/simplified layout we could have a discussion and a moderator may see a response that is very helpful and mark it / pin it to the top to bring extra attention to it.

Or even in the Q/A layout is it possible to bring more attention to the approved answer? 

Thanks!
