# How to Enable the Announcement Module

 With the release of Sprout HR's new feature, *Announcement Module,* you're probably wondering where you can set this up on your account. By default, the *Announcement Module* is disabled and as such, it needs to be configured first before you can start using this.

 

Wondering what the Announcement module is and how it works? Before we begin, you can review this article for a quick refresher: [Announcement Module: Overview & FAQ](https://guide.sprout.ph/announcement-module-overview-faq?hsLang=en)

 

Now how can this be enabled? Keep on reading below!

 

1\. On your Sprout HR account, click the *Maintenance* menu.

2\. Click the *Access Levels* sub-menu.

3\. Select the User to where you can configure the *Announcement Module* setup.

4\. Click the *Navigation Access* tab.

 

***Note:** By default, users with Admin rights are the only ones enabled to use this feature (adding/posting, viewing, and canceling posted Announcements), and only the users under the same client as the Admin should see the announcement posted by the latter.*

 

5\. Scroll to the bottom until you see the *Announcement Module* section and tick the checkbox.

7\. Make sure that the changes were saved successfully.

 

 

**Reminders:**

- This feature can only be enabled for Admin and Manager Dashboard/Users.
- Once enabled, the Admin only needs to refresh the Sprout HR Dashboard for the announcement module to appear under Administration Tools drop-down menu.
- The announcement module does not have a delete option yet, and you will have to wait until the posted/active announcement will end/expires but rest assured that our Product Team is already working on adding the Delete feature
- As of the moment, only *scheduled* announcements can be canceled, and active announcements will automatically disappear on the banner once expired.
- All announcements created will still be on the list (active, pass, scheduled).
- When creating announcements, please note that the announcement module can only accommodate up to 300 characters
