Announcements

Announcements are used to notify people in your domain regarding events or broadcast important notes. An enabled announcement is displayed in a block just under the main navigation and cannot be unnoticed. The block contains information about who and when created it, the title, text and closing button. Sometimes, aheadOffice posts important announcements to all subdomains or their account managers.
After reading users can close the announcement and make it disappear from all pages, however it would be always available under "Announcements" navigation point, unless deleted.
