Announcements appear in the employee feed, are emailed, or both. Go to **Admin → Communications**, open **Announcements** and select **Create announcement**. Nothing is saved until you publish, and you can't edit an announcement afterwards.

## Before you start

- To post in the Vantage Recognition feed, you need to be a super admin or have the **Manage announcements** permission.
- The Vantage Fit feed is there if your company has Vantage Fit. Super admins, Vantage Fit admins and HR admins with **Manage announcements** can post to it.

## Steps

1. Under **Employee feed** at the top, choose **Vantage Recognition** or **Vantage Fit**. You only see the feeds you can post to.
2. Enter a **Title** of up to 80 characters and a **Message** of up to 2,000 characters.

   If your company has AI writing turned on, you'll also see **Generate with AI**. Describe the announcement in at least 30 characters, pick a **Tone** and select **Generate draft**. The draft replaces your title and message, so read it before publishing. **Improve writing** under the message rewrites what you've typed.

3. Under **Attachments**, choose one kind:
   - **Images**: up to 4. JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP, 5 MB each.
   - **Video**: one MP4 or MOV, up to 5 MB.
   - **PDF**: one, up to 10 pages and 5 MB. Add a **Document title** of up to 25 characters. Employees see it on the PDF in their feed.

   To switch kinds, remove what you've attached first.

4. To add a link, fill in both **Link text** (up to 25 characters) and **Link address**. The address must start with http:// or https://. **Button label** is the text on the link's button. It's **Learn More** unless you change it or pick a suggestion such as **Register**.
5. Choose the **Delivery**: **Employee feed and email**, which is the default, **Employee feed only** or **Email only**. Vantage Fit announcements always go to the feed only.

   ![Link text Register here, a link address, the Register button label picked, and Delivery set to Employee feed and email](https://cdn.vantagecircle.com/image/upload/q_auto,f_auto/v1792133348/vantagecircle/help-centre/en/company-admin/communications/admin-announcement-link-delivery-f9d7903477922d9c.png)

6. Under **Recipients**, choose **All employees**, or **Employees matching conditions** and select **Add a condition**. You can narrow by **Department**, **Country** and **City**. The count shows how many people will get it. It's checked again when you publish.
7. Check the preview on the right, then select **Publish announcement**.

If you chose **All employees**, a box asks **Send to all 140 employees?** It says what will happen, for example "It will appear in their feed and be emailed to them. This can't be undone." Select **Send**.

## What happens next

You'll see **Announcement is being published**. It's sent in the background, so check the list before you try again.

- Feed announcements show in the chosen feed for the people you picked. In the Vantage Fit feed, only people who use Vantage Fit see it.
- Emails go to each person's work email, with your attachments.
- To change an announcement, remove it and publish a new one. Emails that were already sent can't be recalled. See [Pin or remove an announcement](/en/help/company-admin/communications/pin-or-remove-an-announcement/).

## Start from an example

**Admin → Communications → Overview** has examples. **Launch a recognition campaign** opens a new announcement with suggested wording that you can change. The email and push notification examples open the Vantage Fit composers, so they only work if your company has Vantage Fit. **Email layouts** is also for Vantage Fit emails.

## If something goes wrong

**"You cannot publish announcements"**
You don't have permission to post. Ask a super admin to give you the **Manage announcements** permission.

**"No employees match these conditions."**
Widen your conditions, or choose **All employees**.

**"Add at least one condition, or choose all employees."**
You picked **Employees matching conditions** without finishing a condition.

**"Photo.png is over the 5 MB limit." or "Handbook.pdf has 14 pages. Upload a PDF with 10 pages or fewer."**
Use a smaller file.

**"Enter a full link starting with http:// or https://."**
Fix the address, or clear both link fields.

**"An attachment is still uploading"**
Wait for the upload to finish, then publish.

**"Daily AI request limit reached. Limit resets at midnight."**
Write the text yourself, or try again tomorrow.

**"We couldn't confirm whether the announcement was published"**
Check the announcement list before you publish again, so employees don't get it twice.
