The announcement workspace keeps published notices clear, dated, and easy for residents to revisit.

Why it matters

Updates work better when residents can see the context

Residents need clear updates, but committees also need those updates to remain connected to the reason they were sent. Our Stairwell helps routine communication sit alongside announcements, discussions, polls, events, dates, and records.

  • Reduce repeated questions

    Publish practical updates that residents can find later.

  • Keep context visible

    Connect announcements, discussions, polls, and dates to meetings, works, and building records.

  • Support simple decisions

    Use polls and notifications for lightweight resident input.

What you can do

Publish, discuss, vote, and keep the context

Use the right communication format while keeping residents connected to the underlying work and dates.

Announcements

Publish formal notices and building updates with supporting attachments.

Drafts and publishing

Save communication drafts, update them later, discard them, or publish into the right channel.

Discussions

Run resident threads for questions, ideas, replies, moderation, and follow-up conversations.

Polls

Create resident polls, choose whether votes can change or are per unit, track open and closed decisions, and record participation status.

Attachments and images

Attach supporting files and inline images to communication records.

Work-linked communication

Link discussions and polls back to specific works or major works records.
