Headlines Overview Video
Getting Started with Headlines
Headlines in Wave help your team share important updates, celebrate wins, and surface issues that need attention. They provide a simple way to keep communication open and visible across your organization.
In growing companies, information can easily get lost in meetings, messages, or side conversations. Headlines solve this by creating a space for quick updates that keep everyone aligned on what is happening and where focus is needed.
Think of Headlines as your company’s running news feed. It keeps everyone informed without interrupting their flow, so updates are always accessible when needed.
How Headlines Work
Inside Wave, Headlines are quick to create and easy to manage. Each Headline can include a title, short description, and optional category to help organize communication. Team members can share anything important, such as:
Wins or milestones worth celebrating
Issues that need visibility or follow-up
Announcements that affect the team or company
Shoutouts for great work or collaboration
Headlines can be shared by anyone and viewed by the entire team. They appear in dashboards and meetings, ensuring key updates are seen, not lost in chat threads.
You can also link a Headline to related tools like Rocks, Projects, or Lists to turn updates into action.
Best Practices for Using Headlines
To get the most value from Headlines, follow these best practices:
Keep updates brief. Headlines should be short and focused so they are quick to read.
Be consistent. Encourage your team to share updates weekly or as major events happen.

Share context. When posting an issue or update, include the reason it matters or what comes next.
Review in meetings. Use Headlines as part of your weekly rhythm to recap what is happening across the business.
