Announcement bar
A slim bar with a short message and an optional link, like "Extra opening days this autumn". Put it in your header to show it on every page.
Using it well
Keep the message short: one line on a phone ("Extra opening days during the autumn holiday"). Add a link when there is more to read, like your opening hours or a page about the offer.
Put the bar in your header (Pages > On every page > Header) to show it on every page. Turn on Full screen width for a bar from edge to edge; at the very top of the page it touches the top of the screen.
Showing it for a while
Set Show from and Show until for a holiday or a sale: outside those dates visitors don't see it, while you still see it in the builder with a note. Turn on Visitors can close it for a message people only need to see once: it stays closed in their browser until you change the text.
Adding it
Open your site in the builder, choose Add in the left panel and pick Announcement bar (or search for it). Click the block in the preview to open its settings on the right.
