# Broadcast Messages
GitLab can display messages to all users of a GitLab instance in a banner that appears in the UI.
Broadcast messages can be managed using the [broadcast messages API](../../api/broadcast_messages.md).
NOTE: **Note:**
If more than one banner message is active at one time, they are displayed in a stack in order of creation.
## Adding a broadcast message
To display messages to users on your GitLab instance, add broadcast message.
To add a broadcast message:
1. Navigate to the **Admin Area > Messages** page.
1. Add the text for the message to the **Message** field. Markdown and emoji are supported.
1. If required, click the **Customize colors** link to edit the background color and font color of the message.
1. Select a date for the message to start and end.
1. Click the **Add broadcast message** button.
NOTE: **Note:**
Once a broadcast message has expired, it is no longer displayed in the UI but is still listed in the
list of broadcast messages.
## Editing a broadcast message
If changes are required to a broadcast message, they can be edited.
To edit a broadcast message:
1. Navigate to the **Admin Area > Messages** page.
1. From the list of broadcast messages, click the appropriate button to edit the message.
1. After making the required changes, click the **Update broadcast message** button.
TIP: **Tip:**
Expired messages can be made active again by changing their end date.
## Deleting a broadcast message
Broadcast messages that are no longer required can be deleted.
To delete a broadcast message:
1. Navigate to the **Admin Area > Messages** page.
1. From the list of broadcast messages, click the appropriate button to delete the message.
Once deleted, the broadcast message is removed from the list of broadcast messages.
NOTE: **Note:**
Broadcast messages can be deleted while active.
