Edit announcement

What is this?

With Edit announcement you can adjust an announcement after it has been published: fix typos, add new information or provide a forgotten attachment. The edited version replaces the original and is visible to all members right away.

Typical reasons to edit:

• Fixing a typo or unclear wording
• Adding new information without sending a second announcement
• Adding a forgotten attachment
• Changing the meeting point or time in the text
• Adding or clarifying a poll
• Changing the visibility or Allow comments

How to edit an announcement

1. Open the announcement from the announcements overview.
2. Click "Edit" at the top right. In the list, "Edit" is also in the announcement's ··· menu. In the app, tap ··· at the top of the announcement and then "Edit announcement".
3. Change the title, text, attachments, poll or visibility as needed. The choirs can't be changed after publishing.
4. Tick "Send notification to all members" if needed.
5. Click "Save changes". The announcement is updated right away.

Archived announcements can't be edited. Restore them first.

If you want to inform members

If the change is important and everyone should be actively told, you have three options:

• Tick the notification option when saving. Everyone who may see the announcement gets a push notification and an email again.
• Write a comment under the announcement pointing out the change. That notifies everyone following the announcement.
• Write a new announcement with the updated content. This makes sense for short-notice date changes.

Permission

You need the Create & edit announcements permission to edit announcements. By default the Administrator and Moderator permission groups have it. Shared announcements sent to several choirs can only be edited on the web.

Tips

• Fix typos promptly. The longer the announcement is up, the fewer members see the corrected version right away.
• Flag important changes at the start of the text with a short note like "Update May 5: rehearsal now starts at 7:30 pm".
• Leave the original information in place if you are only adding to it, so members can see what changed.
• For critical date changes (cancellation, room change shortly before rehearsal), tick the notification option or write a new announcement.
