Announcements serve the purpose of spreading the word about an event, a call for proposals, new book being released or another information that might be of interest of your audience.

Ps:Please note that on the top of the page there is also an “Announcement” button, however this shows all the announcements from the platform or your announcements according to what you select on the left menu.

To create a new announcement, you first need to go to your community through the "Communities" tab or the "Community membership" section.

On the left menu, click on “Announcements”.

On the left menu there will be the option “New announcement”.

Clicking on "New announcement", you will see the new announcement page.

Here you inform the title, and the "Announcement entry", which is a rich text field, so you can upload different media as photos or videos.

Directly below the Announcements field is the “Tags” field, where you write keywords to link your announcement to another contents.

The “Access” field allows you to choose the level of visibility of the announcement

1. Visible to just the community you are into; 

2. "Private" is recommended for drafting purposes; 

3. "Logged in users" means the announcement is visible to all logged members of the entire platform;

4. And "Public", that allows visitors to access the announcements well.

The “Write access” field lets you choose who is able to edit the announcement, to maybe add more information or post updates on the subject.
