Within the admin portal is the announcement repository - a common place where all of your custom announcements can be viewed and maintained. These announcements can be shared among multiple services. You can modify an announcement with another file while the announcement is being used by services, and you can keep an announcement on the system without it being used by a service. 

An announcement must be added to the repository before it can be assigned to a service. This guide reviews the steps for adding and modifying announcements within the announcement repository of the admin portal.
