Smart Announcement Banner for Bitbucket
Share targeted, scheduled announcements in Bitbucket at workspace, project or repository level, and see who has read them.
Overview
Publish announcements for a whole workspace, a project, or a single repository. Readers see them at the top of the repository source page and on Announcements pages.
Administrators at each level can publish to their own audience without involving a workspace administrator. Also available for Jira and Confluence.
Features
Five announcement types
Critical, Warning, Information, Success and Tip, each with its own colour and icon. Set a priority, pin it, or add a button link.
Scheduling
Set start and end times in your own timezone, or pause an announcement and resume it later.
Audience targeting
Show an announcement to everyone, or include or exclude specific people.
Acknowledgement tracking
Ask readers to acknowledge, let them dismiss or snooze, or keep a notice always visible.
Delegated publishing
Administrators at each level publish to their own audience, without needing a site administrator.
Insights
See acknowledgements, dismissals and how many people each announcement reached.

-
Open the right console
Open the console for the level you want to publish at. Workspace reaches everyone; Project reaches every repository in that project; Repository reaches that repository only.
-
Write the announcement
Click New announcement, add a title and message, and choose a type and priority. The live preview shows exactly what readers will see.
-
Choose how readers clear it
Pick Require acknowledgement, Dismissible (with an optional snooze) or Always visible.
-
Choose who sees it
Choose everyone, or include or exclude specific people. Group targeting isn’t available in Bitbucket.
-
Set a schedule
Optionally add start and end dates with the calendar picker, and check the summary line below the fields before saving.
-
Publish and follow up
Save to publish, or save as paused for later. Use Insights to see who has read it, and Reset reads to show it again after an important update.
Good to know
- Each console holds up to three announcements and runs one at a time.
- Pause hides an announcement and keeps its read history. Delete removes both permanently.
- Readers can collapse the panel on the source page. The repository’s Announcements page always shows the full list.
Privacy
- Stores your announcements and which readers acknowledged or dismissed them, using Atlassian account IDs.
- Recent reader activity is kept for 90 days.
- Supports Atlassian’s personal data reporting, so data for closed accounts is erased.
- Data is kept in Atlassian Forge storage. The app makes no connections outside Atlassian.
Our privacy policy covers every AryonForge app.
