# Announcement bar

A thin strip above the header for short messages — a delivery offer, a sale, a holiday cut-off date.

It is a global section, so it appears on every page.

## Set it up

1. Open **Announcement bar** in the theme editor.
2. Add an **Announcement** block for each message.
3. If you have more than one, decide whether to rotate them.

## Announcement blocks

| Setting | What it does                                 |
| ------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Text    | The message.                                 |
| Link    | Optional. Makes the whole message clickable. |

Add as many as you like. With rotation off, they sit in a row across the bar; with it on, they take turns.

Keep them short. This is the narrowest strip on the page, and a long message wraps to two lines on a phone.

## Rotation

| Setting                     | What it does                                                 |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Rotate through the messages | Shows one message at a time instead of all of them in a row. |
| Seconds on each message     | 3 to 12 seconds.                                             |

Two things the bar does on its own, which are worth knowing:

* **It pauses while someone hovers over it**, so a message cannot slide away mid-read.
* **It does not rotate at all** for visitors whose device asks for reduced motion. They see one message instead of moving ones.

## Spacing and style

| Setting        | What it does                                     |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Top spacing    | 0px to 40px.                                     |
| Bottom spacing | 0px to 40px.                                     |
| Color scheme   | Which scheme the bar uses. Defaults to scheme 3. |

## Hiding it

To remove the bar, delete its announcement blocks or hide the section with the eye icon in the theme editor. With no messages, nothing is drawn — there is no empty strip left behind.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lufavo.com/roomfolk/global-sections/announcement-bar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
