The notion of Pin with View for any document is that it will pin the document with the current view properties that the document currently has. These properties include:
scroll: The scroll location of the document.xandy: The x-coordinate on the 2D canvas.
If you click on the Update View button on the slide in the presentation trail it will update to whatever the current view specs of that document are. You can use this feature to animate movement.
