Publication dates
In order for the ad bar to appear on the website, you must define the start date of your message.
It is also possible to define an end date. The message will disappear from the website the day after the chosen end date.
If you do not set an end date, the announcement bar will be visible indefinitely on your website.
Color of the ad bar
The color of the banner corresponds to the highlight color in the branding settings of your website. So, if you are not satisfied with the banner color, you can change it by going to the "Branding" category and you can change the highlight color. CentralApp automatically suggests some colors according to the main color of the website, but it is totally possible to choose a custom color. Make sure that the chosen color stays in the spirit of your site.

It is possible to plan several ad bars in advance by setting a start date and an end date for each ad bar. However, you must be careful that the dates do not overlap.
On the other hand, it is not possible to display several announcement bars simultaneously on the on the website.
