Copy, edit, delete
An announcement banner can be copied meaning that a new announcement will be created with the same information. This comes in handy when you have updates to an existing announcement, but users may have closed it down. Make a copy and delete the old one to push the message again.
Edit an announcement for any of the settings.
A deleted announcement is gone forever, but it makes your list of announcements neater.
