# Announcement bar

This theme fully supports Ghost’s native Announcement bar, allowing you to display a short message at the top of your site for updates, promotions, or calls to action.

### Step-by-step:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to **"Announcement bar"** in Ghost Admin and click **"Customize"**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Enter the message you want to display.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose a background color.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select when the bar should appear (logged-out visitors, free members, or paid members).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **"Save"** to publish your announcement.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

For more details on how the Announcement bar works, see the [official Ghost guide](https://ghost.org/help/announcement-bar/).
