Announcements are alerts that live bellow the NavBar of the site and that gives users some notice or information. There are two types of announcements: local and global.
Local announcements live only in a Customer instance, so it’s supposed to be used for internal notices.
Global announcements are used by the PlusPlus team to broadcast to all the customers. We use this to announce maintenance windows and to point that features are temporarily not working as expected.
Announcement levels
