Announcement Bar

A top-of-section notice bar with icon, text, and an optional link. Supports optional dismissal.

The AnnouncementBar block renders a full-width banner for time-sensitive notices — application deadlines, event announcements, or program updates. It supports an icon, linked text, and a dismiss button.

Props

icon · string

Icon name from the Iconify/Lucide set. Rendered before the announcement text.

text · string · required

The announcement message text.

link · object

Optional link appended to the announcement. Object with:

• label (string) — link display text
• href (string) — destination URL

dismissible · boolean

When true, a close (×) button appears and the bar can be dismissed by the visitor. Defaults to false.

Usage in Sanity Studio

1. Add an Announcement Bar block near the top of a page.
2. Enter the Text (required).
3. Optionally set an Icon name, a Link, and toggle Dismissible.
