{% hint style="success" %}
**Quick start**

* Click into the text block to edit. For example, you could advertise your free shipping discount or a new product/collection/promotion.
* Optionally, enable the country and/or currency selector.
  {% endhint %}

### Settings

* **Enable autoplay** and **autoplay speed:**  This only apply if there are multiple announcements added to the announcement bar. This allows you to control the speed of the slide rotation. Please note there are accessibility issues potentially caused by [enabling autoplay](/guides/accessibility.md).
* **Animation style:** Allows you to choose between a **slide** and a **fade animation.**
* **Enable country selector** and **enable language selector:** This enable the appropriate selectors if your store has multiple countries or languages enabled. If a customer from another region is visiting your store, they typically look to the top right of the page to find their home region, so we recommend enabling this option.\
  \
  \&#xNAN;*Note: When either localization option is enabled, the announcement bar blocks will be positioned to the left of the selector(s). A single text block will be left-aligned while multiple blocks will be centered between the slideshow arrows.*
* **Show borders:** Adds a bottom border to the announcement bar to differentiate it between the header when using the same color scheme.
