# Announcements - Modals/Slide Outs
To initiate the creation of a modal or slide-out, navigate to the "Engagement" section and click on "Create Modal/Slideout" or use the shortcut "Command + K" or "CTRL + K" and enter "Create Modal" or "Create Slide Out" to access the respective page.
Choose between modal or slideout based on your needs. Pick a template and customize it according to your content and specific requirements.
You can include sections by clicking on the "+" symbol and choosing the desired type (text, header, button, video, image, embed) that you wish to add.
You have the option to add sections either at the bottom or on the right side.
You can include up to three sections in a row and any desired number of sections in a column.
Enhance the appearance of your modal or slideout by applying styles through the Styles tab, and fine-tune its configuration in the Settings tab.
Within the Settings, you have the ability to control the audience and display location of your modal or slideout by incorporating segments. Additionally, you can specify the conditions for when it should be displayed.
Once you've made all the necessary modifications, switch the status to "live" to apply the changes and make them visible to your users.
