# Creating and scheduling announcements

**Announcements** let administrators broadcast important updates — new features, reminders, or policy changes — to users across your account, including the brand portal. You manage them from **Account Settings → Announcements**, where every message appears in a table showing its name, author, **Status**, **Publish Date**, and **Publish For**.

## Create an announcement

1. In **Account Settings → Announcements**, click **+ Add Announcement** in the top-right corner.
2. Enter an **Announcement Name** and a **Description**.
3. Set the **Schedule Date** for when the message should become visible.
4. Choose **Publish For** to set the audience: **All**, **Admin**, **Brand Portal Users**, or **Specific User**.
5. Set the status using the action buttons at the bottom of the dialog:
   - **Save as Draft** — save without sending.
   - **Schedule** — publish automatically at the future date you set (the **Scheduled** status is applied when the Schedule Date is in the future).
   - **Publish Now** — send immediately.
6. The announcement appears in the Announcements table with its status.

> Use **Draft** while you're still writing, then switch to **Scheduled** or **Published** when it's ready.

## Find, edit, or delete announcements

- **Search and filter** — use the search bar to find a message by title, and the status filter to view **All**, **Published**, **Scheduled**, or **Draft** items.
- **Row actions** — open the three-dot menu on any row to:
  - **Edit** — update content, change the audience, or reschedule.
  - **View** — open the announcement to read it.
  - **Delete** — remove the announcement.

> Once deleted, an announcement **cannot be recovered** — be sure before removing one.
