Manage Announcements in Medusa Admin
In this guide, you'll learn how to choose the announcements that your team sees in the Medusa Admin.
Overview#
Medusa shares announcements in the Medusa Admin, such as security updates, new features, and tips for the page you're on. You find them in two places:
- What's new: Click the megaphone icon at the top of the dashboard to open a side window that lists the latest announcements. A dot on the icon and a New badge indicate announcements you haven't seen yet.
- Sidebar card: A card above the Settings item in the sidebar shows a new announcement until you dismiss it.
To read more about an announcement, click View details or Learn more.
In the Announcements settings, you choose which categories of announcements appear in both places.
View Announcement Settings#
Requires policy:cloud_announcement:readTo view the announcement settings, go to Settings → Announcements. You find it under the Extensions section of the settings sidebar.
The page lists the announcement categories, each with a toggle that shows whether it's enabled:
Category | Description |
|---|---|
Security updates | Security advisories and incidents that affect your store. |
Feature announcements | New Medusa features and releases. |
Cloud announcements | Cloud features, and tips that appear on specific pages of the Medusa Admin. |
All categories are enabled by default.
Enable or Disable an Announcement Category#
Requires policy:cloud_announcement:updateTo enable or disable an announcement category:
- Go to Settings → Announcements.
- Click the toggle next to the category.
The dashboard saves the change right away and shows a confirmation message. If you can't click the toggles, you don't have the permission to change the announcement settings.
After you disable a category, its announcements may still appear for a few minutes.
If you disable all categories, the megaphone icon and the sidebar card no longer appear in the dashboard.
