Overview

This topic explains how to enable a custom announcement banner that appears in LaunchDarkly for everyone in your organization. You can use the banner to display organization-wide information, such as upcoming holidays, code freeze periods, or reminders on best practices. You can have one banner visible at a time. The banner only displays text. It does not enable or prohibit any other actions in LaunchDarkly. For example, a banner announcing a release freeze does not prevent anyone from toggling flags or updating targeting rules.
