Great question, Paula.
In the new platform, this function is called Announcements.
Group Leaders can make an Announcement and they sit at the top of the Discussions. This is a great way to highlight information.
There are two ways to make them.
- You can click on New Announcement and type as normal.
- You can turn a Discussion into an Announcement. This is really nice because it means you won't have to send a message saying someone has posted something; you can announce the actual post.
And Group Leaders can also un-announce a post, which sends it down to the regular Discussions area.
Members can opt whether to receive an email notification, a pop-up, or neither.
