# Notices

> Add a message that comes in at a corner or across the top of the window, closes in one press and stays away once closed.

Notices are messages pinned to the visitor's window: news, a change of opening hours, an offer. Each comes in after a moment, closes with its **Close** button, its main button or the <kbd>Esc</kbd> key, and can stay closed for that visitor from then on. There are three: **Notice**, **Banner** and **Promo notice**.

Add one from **Blocks** in the toolbar (see [Add and style Blocks](/guide/blocks)), then select it to see its **Notice** section in the Design tab.

## Pin it to the window

A notice is pinned to the window only when it sits **straight inside a screen** (a top-level frame). There, **On the window** shows a small grid: choose **Top left**, **Top**, **Top right**, **Bottom left**, **Bottom** or **Bottom right**. A notice that spans the window's width, such as the Banner, chooses only **Top** or **Bottom**.

Anywhere else, deeper inside a frame, it stays where it is in the page. The section says so, and offers **Move into** followed by the screen's name to put it where it can be pinned.

## The settings

- **Comes in after** (0 to 60 seconds): how long after the page opens it appears.
- **Stays:** **Until closed**, **5 seconds**, **10 seconds** or **20 seconds**. A notice that leaves on its own waits while the pointer or the keyboard is on it.
- **Closes with:** its **Close** and **Got it** buttons, and <kbd>Esc</kbd>. Give a button a link in the **Prototype** tab to go somewhere as it closes.
- **Once closed, stays closed for that visitor:** on your site it stays away for that visitor until its words change. Preview shows it every time, so you can test it.

## Notice

A message that comes in at a corner of the window after a moment and stays away once closed. It has a line of text, a **Got it** button and a Close button.

It starts at the bottom right, coming in after 1 second.

## Banner

A bar across the top of the window for news everyone should see, closed in one press.

It spans the window's width and starts at the **Top**, there as soon as the page opens. Move it to the **Bottom** if it would cover your navigation.

## Promo notice

An offer with a picture that comes in at a corner after a few seconds and stays away once closed. It has a picture, a heading, a line of text and a button, which closes it as well.

It starts at the bottom left, coming in after 3 seconds. Give its button a link to your offer in the **Prototype** tab.

## Catches

- **Not a cookie consent.** A notice does not stop tracking or analytics scripts; the section reminds you of this.
- **A notice needs its Close.** Delete its close buttons and the section warns you that this part no longer works.
- **Deeper than a screen, it is not pinned.** It scrolls away with the page. Use **Move into** to fix it.
- **Testing "stays closed":** Preview always shows it again. Check the real behaviour on your published site.
- **Keep it short.** A notice covers part of the page; one sentence and one button is plenty.
