Improved Announcements
A streamlined Announcement section ensures you stay informed on updates, events and more.
- You will now find the Announcements on the top left section of the landing page versus across the top as a carousel.
- Unread announcements are highlighted as “New” and continually appear on the homepage until you open them. Once opened, the announcement is marked as read. The next unread announcement will be highlighted when you reopen the homepage.
- The display changes to a simpler view once you have read all announcements. You can revisit previously read announcements by clicking the Announcement section again.
