How to Create an Announcement

You create announcements from the Announcement Editor. You can also view and edit previous announcements in the announcement editor.

From the Abre Hub, select the Edit Icon in the upper right corner.
This opens the Announcement Editor where you can search Announcements by title or text, view all Channels or create a new Announcement by clicking on the button in the lower right-hand corner.
Clicking on the Plus button from any screen in the Announcement Editor Dashboard will open the New Announcement modal. Announcements can include a variety of elements including movies, tables, images, and even external links via a URL. Allowing you to provide whatever information you want your users to engage with.
When you are finished drafting your announcement, select Post in the bottom right-hand corner. Once selected the announcement will then be pushed to any users that see the previously selected channel.
