Enable Announcements in CRM 2013 / CRM 2015#
By default, announcements are not available for the user in versions > 2011.
In Settings –> Announcements, it is still possible to configure them.

To show them in the basic navigation, you have to manipulate the SiteMap. I suggest to use XrmToolbox (SiteMap Editor).

You can also add the XML-Code manually.
1 Group Id=“MyWork” ResourceId=“Group_MyWork”…> 2 … 3 SubArea Entity=“businessunitnewsarticle” 4 Id=“nav_news” Url="/home/homepage/home_news.aspx" 5 AvailableOffline=“false” PassParams=“false” /> 6 Group>
Cheers
