What Does an Announcement Look Like in the App?

    

​Where Can an Announcement (aka News) be accessed in the app?

When creating an Announcement you have the option to "feature" it as a banner at the top of your Home Screen buttons. If you choose not to "feature" it the Announcement will live under the News button. You can add the News button to your Home Screen or Side Menu. The News button lives under the Content Items list in the Home Screen section of your App Manager.
