Intra Announcements

Intra Announcement is a modern SharePoint Framework (SPFx)

web part that gives internal communications teams, HR departments, and

intranet administrators a flexible, polished way to surface important

announcements directly on any SharePoint page - without requiring employees

to navigate elsewhere or check a separate channel.

Key Features

• Three display styles - Choose how announcements appear

  to employees: a full-width Top Banner carousel that rotates

  through messages automatically, a continuously scrolling

  Marquee Ticker strip, or stacked Notification Cards

  that sit naturally alongside other page content.

• Rotating banner with dot navigation - When using the

  Top Banner style, announcements cycle at a configurable speed (3–20

  seconds). Navigation dots let users jump to any announcement instantly.

  The carousel pauses automatically on hover.

• Scrolling marquee with click-to-expand - The Marquee

  Ticker scrolls all active announcement titles in a compact strip.

  Clicking any title opens a detail modal with the full message and

  call-to-action link. The ticker pauses on hover.

• Notification cards with priority badge - Each

  announcement is shown as an individual card. Announcements flagged as

  Priority 1 display a prominent Priority badge so critical

  messages are never missed.

• Per-announcement customization - Each announcement

  supports a custom background color, text color, Fluent UI icon, and a

  call-to-action button with a configurable label and URL.

• Built-in content management panel - Authorized content

  managers get a side panel directly in the web part to create, edit, and

  delete announcements - no SharePoint list editing required. The panel

  includes an All Items tab with a sortable table view of every

  announcement.

• Active/Inactive toggle and date range scheduling -

  Each announcement has a Start Date, End Date, and an Is Active toggle,

  giving content managers precise control over when messages appear.

• Priority-based ordering - A numeric Priority field

  determines the display order, ensuring the most important messages

  always appear first.

• Automatic first-run setup - On first use, the web part

  automatically creates the required Intra Announcements

  SharePoint list and a dedicated Intra Content Managers

  permission group. Site owners add members to the group to delegate

  publishing rights - no manual list setup needed.

• SharePoint theme support - The web part respects the

  site's color theme, including dark mode, and adapts automatically when

  the theme changes.

Who Is It For?

Intra Announcement is built for organizations of any size that need a

simple, visually consistent way to surface announcements on their

SharePoint intranet - without relying on static banner images, email

blasts, or custom development. It is especially valuable for internal

communications teams, IT departments communicating maintenance windows,

and HR teams publishing policy updates or event reminders.

Getting Started

Add the web part to any modern SharePoint page. On first load it will

guide site owners through the one-time list creation. Choose a display

style, set the maximum number of announcements, and optionally configure

the carousel speed - all from the property pane. Tenant-wide deployment

is supported, so you can roll it out from the SharePoint App Catalog

without activating it site by site.
