## Overview
When an announcement is no longer relevant, you can stop it showing on your learners' dashboards. You have two options: **disable** it to hide it temporarily (you can switch it back on later), or **delete** it to remove it for good.

## How to disable or delete an announcement
1. Go to **Settings → Features** and scroll down to the **Dashboard** section.

3. Find the announcement in the list. In its row, click the **Disable** icon (the stop-circle) to switch it off, or the **Delete** icon (the trash can) to remove it. Confirm when prompted.

## Disable vs delete
* **Disable** hides the announcement from dashboards but keeps it in the list. Its status changes to *Disabled*, and a **Enable** icon (the play-circle) appears in its place so you can switch it back on later.
* **Delete** removes the announcement permanently. This can't be undone, so use it only when you're sure you won't need the announcement again.

## Things to keep in mind
* Both actions ask you to confirm before they take effect.
* Deleting is permanent — if you might want the announcement back, disable it instead.
* A disabled announcement stays fully editable; re-enabling it puts it straight back on learners' dashboards.

## FAQs
**What's the difference between disabling and deleting?**
Disabling hides an announcement but keeps it so you can re-enable it later; deleting removes it permanently.

**Can I bring back a deleted announcement?**
No. Deletion is permanent — disable an announcement instead if you may want it again.

**How do I switch a disabled announcement back on?**
In the announcements list, click the **Enable** (play-circle) icon on the disabled announcement's row.

## Who can do this
**Owners** and **Admins** can disable, enable and delete announcements. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot.
