Announcements are notices to your community, and are displayed on the main page of the Spirit app and on Spirit Stream.

You can edit announcements in the Admin Console under Announcements. The announcement page will show different announcements under "Active", "Scheduled", and "In-Active". The "Active" section displays announcements which are currently showing to users, "Scheduled" displays your queued announcements, and "Archive" has past announcements.

1. On your computer, open the Admin Console.
2. In the navigation panel on the left, click Announcements.
3. Click on New Announcements.
4. Enter a name for the announcement, for example "Survey". You may also optionally enter a URL where the banner should link to when clicked.
