# Announcement bar

Displays an announcement message above the header

Positioned at the top of the page, the announcement bar can be displayed with key messaging with a link:

#### Announcement text and More info

Take advantage of both fields when you have a second message or a long announcement. Announcment text will be bold, More info is regular font weight. A light separater bar is used between them. Each field is optional, you can use one or both. The announcement link is attached to both fields to make it easier for the customer.  

![Message scrolls when message is longer than browser or device width](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-Me7CMMY-ppYTXEx-edJ%2F-Me7UbNNzuqwIW54Gx5e%2FKapture%202021-07-08%20at%2016.33.25.gif?alt=media\&token=67b07ac8-076c-4414-acf9-84b570e9d43d)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://pipeline.groupthought.com/pipeline-5/header/announcement-bar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
