Broadcast product updates — in-app via Banner / Toast / Modal / Slideout, plus a public changelog.
Open Announcements → Announcements to see every announcement, grouped by collection.
Status filter pills at the top: All · Draft · Live · Scheduled · Archived.
Anatomy
Each announcement row shows:
- Title (with optional badge — e.g. "New", "AI", "Info", "SDK")
- Layout: Banner, Toast, Modal, or Slideout
- Audience (e.g. "All users", or a segment)
- Status (Draft / Live / Scheduled / Archived)
- Impressions count
Status lifecycle
draft → scheduled → live → paused → archived- Draft — not visible anywhere
- Scheduled — hidden until the scheduled time, then auto-flipped to
live - Live — visible per your audience and display rules
- Paused — hidden but not archived; re-publish later
- Archived — removed from feeds. Permalink still works.
Collections
Group related announcements into collections. Each collection has a name and badge (e.g. "First Collection" → custom badge, "Release Notes" → release badge).
