# Announcement Bar & Footer
Set up the Volume announcement bar (slider, menu, selectors on desktop) and footer section (3–4 column grid, newsletter, social links, bottom bar styles).
### Announcement Bar
The **Announcement bar** selector at the top of the section controls where the bar appears: **Disable**, **Show**, **Show on Home page** or **Show on inner pages**.
On **desktop** the bar can be used to display:
* Announcement slider\
To add an announcement, insert a **Text** block. In addition to standard settings, you can also select a **Color scheme**, which will apply to the entire **Announcement bar**.
* Menu — including **Mega menu** blocks, set up the same way as in the header (see [**Mega Menu**](/docs/volume-themes/navigation/mega-menu.md))
* Country and language selector
* Store selector — tick **Enable** under the **Store selector** heading and pick an **Icon**
* Social media links — **Show social media**
* A **Countdown timer** block
{% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb" %}
On **mobile**, only announcements will be displayed. Other elements can be placed in the [**Menu drawer**](/docs/volume-themes/navigation/menu-drawer.md).
{% endhint %}
***
### Footer
On **desktop**, the **Grid columns** selector lets you display **3 or 4 columns**. Blocks added to the **Footer** section will be distributed **left to right** across the columns. In the block settings, you can adjust **horizontal and vertical alignment** for desktop.
{% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb" %}
On **mobile**, tick **Display menus in two columns on mobile** to split the menus into two columns.
{% endhint %}
The principles of [**Layouts**](/docs/volume-themes/theme-settings/layout.md) and [**Color schemes**](/docs/volume-themes/theme-settings/colors.md) are explained in their respective articles.
***
### Bottom Bar
Select one of the following **Style** options:
* **Stretched**
* **Stacked**
* **Centered**
The principles of [**Layouts**](/docs/volume-themes/theme-settings/layout.md) and [**Color schemes**](/docs/volume-themes/theme-settings/colors.md) are explained in their respective articles.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://staylime.com/docs/volume-themes/navigation/announcement-bar-and-footer.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
