What are Announcements?
Announcements are a great way to promote updates on Glean’s home page for your teammates to see, especially if many teammates are using Glean as their new tab page. They can be targeted to a limited set of teammates for whatever duration you choose.

If you have permission to create Announcements for your team, navigate to Knowledge > Announcements and click the “New announcement” button in the upper right corner.
You will see the announcement composer to create your announcement.
Customize the banner area
Choose a background color, icon, or image.
Write your announcement
Give your announcement a title and use our WYSIWYG editor to easily compose your message.
Include images
You can include images to enhance your announcement. Please make sure that your image is less than 1MB in size. After placing your image, you can resize it by clicking it and then dragging the corner handle.
