| Creating a Custom Announcement Set
> Create a custom announcement set so you can use it as a base for changing your system's announcements. This step allows you to keep the standard announcement sets in their original state so you that can use them again if necessary.
> If you are thinking about upgrading your system in the future, consider the following: If you customize the standard (or terse) set rather than create a custom announcement set, you lose all customization during the upgrade. Custom announcements from your original system are not automatically moved to and activated in the upgraded system. In fact, the old custom announcement set might not make sense in the context of the new features. Standard fragments that you rerecorded are moved to the new system and placed in the appropriate announcements. You need to contact your account executive or technical support representative to discuss the impact of potential upgrades before you customize your announcements.
> You create a custom announcement set in two steps: Adding an Announcement Set Name Copying an Announcement Set You can change the announcements and fragments as desired, after you create an announcement set but before you activate it, . #### Adding an Announcement Set Name The first step in creating a custom announcement set is to give the announcement set a name.
