# Announcement Banner

> Show a site-wide announcement banner on your community site, and control its placement, dismissibility, and color.

The **announcement banner** is a site-wide message that appears on every page of your community site. Use it for anything every visitor needs to see at once: an upcoming event, a maintenance window, a product launch, or a call to join your Slack workspace.

Configure it at **[Site > Banner](https://studio.tightknit.ai/-/website/banner)** in Studio.

<Note>
  The announcement banner is a bar of text shown site-wide. It is not the same as your **page banners**, which are the images at the top of individual pages. Page banner images are set under [Site > Overview](/community-site/general).

## Settings

Studio splits these across two sections: **Announcement Banner** holds the text, and **Banner Options** holds the rest.

* **Banner text** - The message itself. Keep it to one line where you can, since the banner appears on every page.
* **Placement** - Choose **Above the header** or **Below the header**. Above the header is the more prominent of the two.
* **Users can dismiss** - When enabled, visitors get a close button and the banner stays hidden for them afterwards. Enable this for informational messages, and leave it off for anything a visitor must see on every visit.
* **Color theme** - Choose **Primary**, **Secondary**, or **Muted**. Each maps to a color from your active [branding set](/branding#branding-sets), so the banner stays on-brand automatically. Use Primary to draw attention and Muted for background information.

Changes save automatically.

<Tip>
  Clear the banner text to remove the banner from your site. There is no separate on/off toggle.
