Notification Banner for Emergencies

Compass has started using a red banner at the bottom of the screen to advise of Compass hours over the holidays. It would be AMAZING if schools had the ability to add this feature, so that in the case of an emergency, information can be broadcast silently across teacher devices, particularly during a lockdown. I see us using this to advise of a student or other person who is in the school that has created the lockdown, so that staff are aware of what is going on.

Hey everyone! We're pleased to advise that we've now released this functionality.
Administrators can display a site-wide banner at the top of Compass with custom text and a configurable background colour (defaulting to dark red). The banner appears across every page for staff and can be activated, updated, or cleared instantly from Admin Tools > Emergency Banner, ensuring critical information can be shared quickly when it matters most.
This can be configured by staff in the CompassSponsors role group and those with the NewsFeedAdmin permission.

Compass - Customer Success is it just me or is this not visible in the app?
I have had a couple of people check with a test version and it doesn't appear on the app at all? Seeing as most staff marking rolls via the app - it seems a little pointless ??

and also have the functionality to make it visible to students &/or parents as needed. (eg evacuation drill vs real emergency vs private urgent message for staff)
