The four kinds
Each resource sets this up on its own page, and the details differ enough to be worth reading there.Playtest announcements
Open playtests only. Posts a Join Playtest button, and carries across when you duplicate.
Key vault announcements
Custom vaults only. Posts a Redeem a key button pointing at the redeem link.
Survey announcements
Any survey. Posts a Take the survey button, and stays editable after the questions freeze.
Waitlist announcements
Any waitlist. Posts a Join the waitlist button that keeps recruiting between playtests.
How they compare
Every one of them needs a connected Discord server first. Without one the toggle stays visible but inert, so you can see the feature exists and what it is waiting for.
The two eligibility rules come from the same question: can a stranger reading the post act on it? A closed playtest turns away everyone outside its roster, and a playtest’s own key vault hands keys out in session rather than through a link. Neither has a door to point at.
What they all share
Seeing them all together
Your resource announcements also appear under Announcements in the sidebar, alongside the ones you wrote yourself, each with a badge naming the resource that owns it. That view is read-only: open the resource to change anything.Related articles
