Examples

Utilize the rich text editor's features to structure your announcement: use headings for sections, bold text for key takeaways, and bulleted lists for features. Embed a product tour video for new feature announcements, or include a CTA button directing users to a relevant help article. The description field should be a compelling one-liner, and a relevant cover image can significantly boost engagement.

Notes

  • Ensure embedded images and GIFs are optimized for web to maintain fast loading times.
  • Video embeds typically require the full shareable URL from platforms like YouTube or Loom.
  • CTA button links should be thoroughly tested to ensure they direct users to the correct destination.
  • The Description/Summary field is critical for first impressions; keep it concise and informative.
  • While the editor provides robust tools, avoid over-formatting to maintain readability.
