# Announcements
In the Utility bar, you can display up to 3 rotating announcements at the top of every page. Let customers know about current promotions, sales, new product lines, or other need-to-know updates with optional links to other pages.
## Add announcements
Add up to 3 announcements with optional links and custom colors. For multiple announcements, you can **set the time between announcements** when rotating.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click the arrow beside the **Utility bar** to reveal the announcement blocks.
2. Click **(+) Add announcement** to add up to 3 announcements.
> Click **Remove block** in the block settings to delete an announcement.
3. Click on an **Announcement block** to open the settings.
4. Enter your **Announcement text** as a message to your customers.
> We recommend entering no more than 10 words.
5. (*Optional*.) Click the **Announcement Link** field to select a page from your online store or enter a URL to direct customers to another page.
6. (*Optional*.) Change the **Background color** and **Text color** of the announcement.
> We recommend using WebAIM's [contrast checker](https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/) when matching colors to make sure your text is clear and readable for everyone.
7. Click **Save**.

2. Move the slider to set the time between announcements from **`3`** to **`15`** seconds.
