Send announcements to your class

Use announcements to share instructions, reminders, and updates with every student in a class at once, keeping everyone informed and on the same page.

Before you post

Create or open the intended class before posting an announcement. Announcements are visible only to students in that class, including students who join the class after an announcement is posted.

Create an announcement

Create an announcement from the class detail page to quickly share important information with all students in the class.

1. On the class detail page, select Add announcement.
2. Enter a title and message. The title is plain text and supports up to 150 characters. The message supports up to 30,000 characters.
3. Use the formatting options as needed. You can apply bold, italic, underline, bulleted-list, and numbered-list formatting to selected text in the message.
4. To include a link, paste or type its URL in the message, then press Enter or Space. A preview is added when link metadata is available. Select the remove control on the preview to remove it.
5. Select Post.

If posting fails, check your connection and try again.

Discard an announcement

To close the Add announcement dialog, select Close. If you made changes, select Discard to close without saving them, or select Cancel to continue editing.

View past announcements

Open the class detail page and go to the Announcements section to review announcements that have already been posted, helping you track what information students have received. If the class has more announcements than are shown, select View all.

If editing fails, check your network connection and try again.
