## Common questions

### When can I post?

Only while your event is happening, between its start and end times.

### Who gets it?

Signed-in ticket holders and approved vendors get a bzar notification. Everyone can see it on your event's live page.

### Does it send an email?

No. Announcements are for right now. To email, use the **Messages** tab.

### Can I take one back?

**Hide** takes it off the live page; the owner, Admins and Coordinators can use it. Notifications that already went out stay sent.
