News is accessed via the Communication page. You can create and edit items to display in the News banner on the Home Dashboard or Communications > News. It is important to keep the News section relevant for end-users and up-to-date.
Initially, it is a good place to offer your users a brief tour of the system or provide them with information to help them get the most from the LMS. You should also define how you plan to use the News section going forward.
