If you are on mobile and looking to drop a pin this is how you do so.
To create a pin, you must create a project to drop the pin on. See how to do that here: FAQ: How to create a project
Now that you have a project, we can get into dropping a pin! There are several options on the mobile project screen, but to drop a pin navigate to the Site Map Screen shown on the right side.
To learn what the other items on this screen are check out the Mobile Project Dashboard FAQ (Coming Soon)
A lot is going on here... but we will focus on the pin dropping segment for this tutorial. To see more of the Site Map screen see Mobile Map Screen FAQ (Coming Soon)
Your screen may look a little different depending on the version you are on, but the plus button remains the same method of initiating the pin drop.
After you click the pin button, you will see the pin dropping screen appear. See that example below:
