How Do I Make and Manage Announcements?

Announcements can be an effective way to get people's attention.

You can post an announcement when you are the owner of a place (space, project, or group). Announcements appear in the Communications stream of users following the place, and in a banner on the home page of the place.

CAUTION:

Users may also get an email when a new announcement is posted if they have their email notifications turned on for Communications stream updates. For more about that, be sure to read Customizing Email Notifications. If you do not want notifications (Communications stream and email) sent when you create an announcement, be sure to check the Do not send notifications box (checked by default).

Creating an Announcement

Navigate to the home page where you want the announcement to appear. This can be the home page of a space, project, or group that you own.
Click Manage > Announcements .
Click Add a new announcement.
Enter the details of your announcement and specify the beginning and expiration dates. If you do not want notifications (Communications stream and email) sent when you create an announcement, be sure to check the Do not send notifications box (checked by default).
Click Save.
To share, edit, expire, or delete an announcement, click Show Details on the announcement or navigate to the home page of the space, project, or group where the announcement appears and click Manage > Announcements . Note that when you Expire an announcement, you are saving and hiding it, but not deleting it. This is useful if you want to repost the announcement at a later date.
