Open announcement

What is this?

When you click or tap an entry in the announcements overview, the announcement's detail view opens. Here you see the full content (text, attachments, poll, comments and reactions) and can take part yourself.

The detail view shows you:

• The full text of the announcement, with clickable links
• Author, choir and publication time
• Attachments with file size and download option
• Poll with current votes and your status
• Comments from other members in the discussion
• Reactions with emoji and count

How to open an announcement

1. Open Messages › Announcements in the sidebar, or in the app tap Messages and then Announcements at the top.
2. Tap or click the entry you want in the list.
3. Read the full text and scroll down to see attachments, poll and comments.
4. React or comment directly from the detail view.
5. To go back to the list, use "Announcements" at the top left or the back arrow in the app. On wide screens the announcement sits to the right of the list, so you simply click the next one.

What you can do in the detail view

The detail view offers several actions:

• Download an attachment: open or save the file in the browser or the app
• Take part in a poll: choose one or more options, depending on the settings
• Write a comment: leave a reply or a question
• React with an emoji: quick feedback without a comment
• Edit the announcement: with the Create & edit announcements permission
• Archive or delete the announcement: with the Delete announcements permission, via ··· at the top right

Who sees that you opened it

If your choir has switched on the read status, authorized people in the choir can see whether you opened an announcement. The time is not shown. You can recognize such announcements by the small info icon, on the web next to the date. More under See who opened an announcement.

Permission

You need the View announcements permission to open announcements. All members have it by default. If an announcement's visibility is restricted to certain permission groups, functions, voice parts, chat groups or individual people, you only see it if you belong to one of them or are selected yourself.

Tips

• For announcements with attachments, read the attachments too. Important details (sheet music scan, directions, program) are often not in the main text.
• Answer questions in the comments promptly when you asked them yourself. That keeps the discussion fair.
• React instead of commenting when you only want to show agreement. That keeps discussions easy to follow.
• Use J and K to jump to the next or previous announcement when you read several in a row on the web.
