Difference between Move To and Show In?

From the Teams list on the left, you can select a channel to Show In [favorites]. 

From the list of channels in a Team in the center of the app, the option is Move To [favorites]. 

Why are these different phrases for what appears to be the same action and why are they not just called Pin

 

As a user, I would never want to move a channel out of a Team. 

Showing something outside the Team it belongs in is confusing and disconnects the user from the originating location.

  • Show In and Move To do the same thing: they add a channel to your favorites list on the left sidebar for quick access.

    They're just labeled differently in different parts of the app. And no, it doesn’t move the channel out of the Team, it just shows it in your main view.

    Microsoft could make it clearer by simply calling it Pin to sidebar everywhere.
