Display Formats

Last updated: March 2026

UserSignal supports 5 different display formats for announcements. Choose the one that best fits your message.

Sidebar Panel

The default format. Opens a slide-in panel from the widget bell icon. Best for changelogs and longer updates.

Popup Modal

A centered modal overlay. Great for important announcements that need attention.

Top Banner

A full-width bar at the top of the page. Perfect for short, time-sensitive messages like maintenance notices.

Corner Snippet

A small card in the corner of the screen. Ideal for subtle, non-intrusive updates.

Tooltip

A small popup anchored near the widget trigger. Good for quick tips and micro-updates.
