Create and publish an announcement

How to write and publish a group announcement or submit an all-staff message for review.

Canopy announcements share updates with one of your groups or with all staff. You must have announcement-author access for the selected audience.

  1. Open Announcements and choose Manage announcements. Select Create announcement.
  2. Choose the audience. For a group announcement, select the group you are authorized to post for. All-staff messages are sent to the moderation queue for review.
  3. Enter a clear title and write the message. Choose the available content type and add any relevant formatting, links, or imagery.
  4. Review the audience and message before submitting. Group announcements can be published directly; all-staff announcements must be approved before they appear to staff.

Use Your announcements to find your messages. A pending message is awaiting review. If it is returned, read the moderation note, edit it, and submit again.
