I want to upload my own image with my own design for an announcement. Can i just do that instead of having to use the text editor and a background image? Example attached.

Hi Jason. Yes, you can upload this entire picture to the “announcement” section. You do not have to add a text on top of it. 

Also, you can share this picture as a “post” and pin it to the top of the homepage, which works like the announcement, with this difference that users can add react to it.
