What's New - Platform Announcements

Where to Find It

Click What's New in the sidebar, directly below the Home link. It has a Sparkles icon.

What You See

The page header is centered at the top with a Sparkles icon, the title What's New, and the subtitle "Latest updates and features."

Below the header, announcements are displayed in reverse chronological order (newest first), grouped by month. Each month section starts with a badge showing the month and year (e.g., May 2026), followed by a horizontal divider.

Each announcement is a card with:

• Banner image - a full-width 16:9 image at the top of the card
• Published date - formatted date above the title (e.g., "May 2, 2026")
• Title - a headline describing the update
• Body - a detailed description with rich markdown formatting (supports bold, lists, links, and other formatting)
• Action button (optional) - some announcements include a button that links to a related feature page or an external URL. The button label varies (e.g., "Learn more", "Try it now"). Internal links show a right arrow icon; external links show an external link icon and open in a new tab.

When There Are No Announcements

The page shows a centered placeholder with a gray Sparkles icon, the text Nothing new yet, and the subtitle "Check back soon for updates and new features."

How Announcements Work

• Announcements are published by the MemberZone platform team - they are NOT created by individual businesses. These are product updates from MemberZone, not business-to-member communications.
• All logged-in business users see the same announcements.
• Announcements are organized by month with labeled section headers (e.g., "May 2026", "April 2026").
• Only announcements that are both active and past their published date are visible.
• Managed exclusively by MemberZone admins through a separate admin interface.

Typical Announcement Topics

• New feature launches (e.g., a new reward builder, updated fulfillment tools)
• Integration updates (e.g., new POS or shipping provider added)
• Platform improvements and bug fixes
• Seasonal tips or best practices
• Policy or terms updates
