On this page
Firm board is the studio noticeboard: announcements, lunches, and birthdays. Everyone can read it; Admins and Managers post. Pinned and recent posts also appear on Home.
Where the board lives
- More → Firm board (
/announcements) — the full live list, pins, and Archive. - Firm settings → Firm board — the same posting tools from settings.
- Home — a card of pinned and recent posts so people see them when they log in.
Post types
| Type | What to include |
|---|---|
| Announcement | Title, optional body, optional pin (max 2 pinned at once), and optional expiry date. |
| Lunch | A calendar date (and optional details) for a team lunch or similar social. |
| Birthday | A calendar date for a team member’s birthday. |
Pins, expiry, and Archive
Pin at most two announcements so Home stays scannable. When an announcement’s expiry date passes, it moves to Archive on the board page — it is no longer live. Open a post to mark it read; unread counts appear in the Firm board subtitle.
Who can post
- Admins and Managers — create, edit, pin, and delete posts.
- Contributors — read the board and the Home card. They cannot post.
Before you start
- You can open More → Firm board (
/announcements). Everyone can read; Admins and Managers can post. - You know whether the post is an announcement (optional pin and expiry) or a dated lunch or birthday.
Workflow checks and quality guardrails
Checklist item 1: Pin at most two announcements so Home stays scannable, and set an expiry so stale posts move to Archive.
Checklist item 2: Use lunch and birthday items for dated social events; they need a calendar date, not just a title.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Pinning every announcement. Only two pins are allowed at once.
- Leaving expired announcements on the live board — they belong in Archive after the expiry date.
Troubleshooting
- 1Troubleshooting step 1
If you cannot post, you are a Contributor — ask a Manager or Admin, or use Messages for a team thread.
- 2Troubleshooting step 2
If a post is missing from Home, confirm it is not archived and that it is pinned or recent enough to appear on the card.
