How do I post a news announcement?

Open News, start a new story, add your text and any media, and publish to the audience you choose.

Steps

1. Open News and click New story.
2. Write your announcement — add images or video if it helps tell the story.
3. Choose the audience: your whole workspace, or a specific group.
4. Publish. It appears in News for everyone in that audience, and they can react or comment on it.

From a message

1. Open the message menu on the message you want to share more widely.
2. Choose News (or Create News). For something with a time, choose Event (or Create Event).
3. Review the story, choose the audience, and publish.
4. Open Created from on the story to return to the original message. The message shows Created from this message; open that card to return to the story.

Tips

• News stories stay easy to find later, unlike an announcement made in a busy channel that scrolls out of view within a day.
• Use a clear headline as the first line — it's what people scan when browsing News.
• See News vs. chat if you're deciding whether something belongs here or in a channel.
