Announcements

In Collate, announcements inform the entire team about upcoming changes to a data asset — such as deprecation, deletion, or schema changes. Announcements can be scheduled with a start and end date. All users following the data asset are notified in Activity Feeds, and a banner is shown on the data asset details page.

• Click the announcement to view the further details:
• Each announcement shows:
  • Creator — Who added the announcement
  • Data Asset — The type and name of the data asset it pertains to
  • Scheduled Date — The start and end date during which the announcement is displayed
• Announcements are also shown on the top right of the landing page.
• Users can react with emojis and reply to announcements from both the Activity Feed on the homepage and from the data asset page.
