###### **Step-by-step guide on how to add a banner to your Linkie page**

Add a banner when you want to highlight an announcement, promotion, update, or important message at the top of your Linkie page.

### Open the playground

Go to the [playground](https://app.linkie.bio/playground). At the top of your Linkie page, you will see the **Add Banner** input.

### Type your banner text

Click the **Add Banner** input and start typing the message you want visitors to see. Once you begin filling it in, you will notice the accent color applying to it.

Keep the message short and clear so visitors can understand it quickly. For example, you can use a banner to share a discount, event update, launch announcement, or important notice.

You can also add a link to your banner. When a link is added, visitors can click the banner and Linkie will forward them to that URL.

The link itself will not be visible on the banner. It only adds a click action, so the banner still displays your message while opening the linked page when clicked.

### Preview your banner

Click **Preview** at the top right of the [playground](https://app.linkie.bio/playground) to see how the banner will look on your Linkie page.

If the banner text is too long, go back to the playground and shorten it so it is easier to read.

### Things to note

* The banner appears at the top of your Linkie page.
* The banner is created as soon as you start typing in the **Add Banner** input.
* Adding a link is optional.
* If you add a link, visitors can click the banner to open it, but the URL will not be shown on the banner.
