Maintaining user integrity across platforms can be an issue in some cases. Don't worry, AnnounceKit has a solution to that too.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is an industry standard that defines a self-contained simple token for securely transmitting information between parties. This token is verified and trusted. It is signed using a secret key by a trusted source, mostly by you.

Setting the JWT improves user integrity, and you can be sure that only verified users can interact with your feed. Also, if you're using the Private Feed option, it adds an additional layer of security by only allowing verified users.

You have more than one widget on your web page? Each of them is talking to different groups of people? You need a way to choose a certain widget to distribute your posts?

Good news, we have come up with an easy way for you!

With Widget Segmentation, you'll be able to manage your posts' visibility on your widgets easily. When you choose the segment field Widget and select the relevant one, your post will be displayed only on this widget.

It will allow you to push your announcements to a particular widget and increase their performance with a better distribution process.

We value your security and privacy as much as we value your product updates and company news.

We had several privacy options to keep your announcements private or for internal use only. Now, we're enhancing these settings to open a few more doors for you.

You will be able to add a domain-based rule to your feed that will limit access to your feed page only with the allowed domain extension.

With domain access, people can send a request to access your feed. If their domain extension matches with your settings, they'll get a magic link via email and will be able to reach your feed with this link, only for 24 hours.

Feel free to see more here; it does not require domain access 🤫

We had rocket, bell, chat bubble, and gift box icons for your float launcher in the past, we still have, but these icons can be insufficient in some cases. You might want to customize your launcher's icon according to your branding and website design.

Good news! From now on, you can upload your own icon either in PNG or GIF format. With custom icons, you can maintain a certain brand or aesthetic on your web page.

See how to add a custom icon to your launcher in our Help Center.

It once required extra effort to display specific labels in your widgets.

With a small change in widget configuration, you can set up the widget to display announcements that are tagged only with specific labels.

This setting makes it easy to manage and display product announcements in the widgets on different parts of your web application.

Check our Widget API docs to see how to implement this feature.

Success is a team sport, so you know that enlarging your team is essential to get better results.

If you've been around AnnounceKit for a while, you'll know our feed theme designer hasn't significantly evolved since its first launch. So, we have added quite cool stuff, as you asked.

Header Background Image
From now on, you can add a header image to your newsfeed to create an aesthetically pleasing user experience. It provides a chance to showcase your company, your product, or any other aspect of your business that will make people want to explore your announcements.

Layout Settings
Now with layout settings, you can set to overlap your post list onto your header or not and you will be able to align description text to the left or center.
