Another interesting behavior is that Pinned filters are not saved. For example, if you pin a filter on a dashboard and save the dashboard. Then open the dashboard listing table in a new tab and open the dashboard, the pinned filter is no longer present. Not sure if this is worth mentioning.

At last, some docs for a 2015 feature that isn't very discoverable.
I scanned the discuss forum and tested the feature myself to produce these descriptions. Please suggest any changes if you see something incorrect or if I have missed anything.
Those pinned filters for sure persist in Dashboards and Discover. But there may be more apps too, so I've used a snippet to include this information in different relevant sections about app-specific filtering capabilities.
