+description: Cordova CLI pinned platform versions.
+---
+
+## Platform Pinning
+
+Cordova CLI pins the supported platform version in conjunction with the version of CLI that is being used.
+
+To see the pinned platforms for your CLI version, execute the command `cordova platform list`  in a brand new project directory.
+
+**Example (Cordova CLI 9.x):**
+
+```bash
+$ cordova platform list
+Installed platforms:
+
+Available platforms:
+  android ^8.0.0
+  browser ^6.0.0
+  electron ^1.0.0
+  ios ^5.0.0
+  osx ^5.0.0
+  windows ^7.0.0
+```
+
+_Note: When a platform is installed, the "**Installed platforms:**" section will display the actual installed platform version. The installed platform will no longer display in the "**Available platforms:**" section until it is removed from the project._
+
+Starting from **Cordova CLI 9** and up, all platforms are pinned with an caret (`^`). It means that by installing a platform without a specified version, Cordova will fetch the latest version up to a minor release.
