“Must-see” notification update
News Admins: The option to send out a “Must-see” notification for a News item (i.e., a notification that users cannot opt out of) has been replaced by a new “Notify” feature. Those who have edit rights on a News item will see the Notify option in the action bar of the viewer, but only after the item has already been published. This allows for it to be used at any time, (unlike "Must-see", which can only be used when publishing). A note can also be included to add any related details to the notification.
NOTE—this update will also be applied to Events notices and Library updates, as well as result in the removal of "Must-see" notifications as an optional blocked action for Reporters.
