Open the Dashboard

From the left sidebar, select Dashboard.

On the right side of the Dashboard, locate the Announcements panel.

Start a new announcement

Click the + button beside Announcements.

This opens the New announcement window.

Add an optional image

In the Image URL field, paste the image link.

If the image URL is valid, a preview will appear at the top of the announcement window.

This field is optional. You can create an announcement without an image.

The content field supports up to 2,000 characters.

Set visibility options

Use the available options to control when and how the announcement appears.

Until

A confirmation message will appear saying Saved. Announcement saved.

The announcement will then appear in the Announcements panel.

The announcement is not appearing on the Dashboard

  • Check that Visible is turned on and the current date is within the Visible From and Until range.

The announcement appears lower than expected

  • Turn on Pinned if the announcement should stay at the top.

I cannot add more reactions

  • Only 4 reactions are allowed. Remove or swap an existing reaction before adding another one.

The Save button does not work

  • Check that required fields, such as Title and Content, have been filled in correctly.
