Announcements can be an effective way to get people's attention.
You can post an announcement when you are the owner of a place (space, project, or
group). Announcements appear in the Inbox of users following the place, and in a banner
on the home page of the place.
CAUTION:
Users may also get an email when a
new announcement is posted if they have their email notifications turned on for
Inbox updates. For more about that, be sure to read
Customizing Email Notifications. If you do not want notifications (Inbox
and email) sent when you create an announcement, be sure to uncheck the
Send Inbox notifications box (checked by
default).
Creating an Announcement

the home page of a space, project, or group that you own.
