  • Toggle Attach Files if you need to include any documents.

  • Select from your document library or drag-and-drop files into the upload box.


👥 Choose Recipients

  • Search for and select any users or groups in your organization.

  • They’ll see the announcement in their Equip dashboard and get a push notification when it’s sent.


✅ Send the Announcement

  • Click Create Announcement to send or schedule it.

  • You’ll be returned to the announcement dashboard where it now appears in your library.


📊 View & Manage Your Announcement
