Questions about in-app announcements in Engagement

Can I turn off Dental Intelligence announcements in Engagement?

In-app announcements keep you and your team informed on important product updates, alerts, webinars, and other Dental Intelligence events. In-app announcements cannot be disabled. While we always do our best to keep these announcements brief, please be sure to read through these messages to ensure you stay informed on the latest Dental Intelligence happenings.

To clear an announcement from your dashboard, click on the X in the upright corner, or click Snooze (if available).

Please note: Snoozing the announcement will only clear the announcement pop-up from your current session. The next time you log in, the message will show again.
