+You can add any announcement on any channel where the SmartBot is a member by using **_`add COLOR announcement MESSAGE`_** or **_`add EMOJI announcement MESSAGE`_**.
+

+>**_Peter>_** `add green announcement :heavy_check_mark: All customer services are *up* and running`  
+>**_Peter>_** `add red message Customers db is down :x:`

+If you are a master admin and you are on master channel then you can call **_`publish announcements`_** that will publish the announcements on all channels. The messages stored on a DM won't be published. This is very convenient to be called from a *Routine* for example every weekday at 09:00.
+
+### Share messages
+You can automatically share any new message that is posted on the channel and meet the specified criteria by using **_`share messages /REGEXP/ on #CHANNEL`_** or **_`share messages "TEXT" on #CHANNEL`_**.
+
+This command is only available in public channels. The user adding the Share and the SmartBot need to be a member of both channels.
+
+Examples:

+### See statuses
+To see a list of statuses of the members in the channel you can call `see statuses`, `who is on vacation?`, `who is not on vacation?`, `who is on EMOJI`, `who is on EMOJI #CHANNEL`
+
+You need to be a member of the channel to be able to get this info.
+
+Examples:

+
 ### Routines
 To add specific commands to be run automatically every certain amount of time or a specific time: **_`add routine NAME every NUMBER PERIOD COMMAND`_** or **_`add routine NAME at TIME COMMAND`_**. Also just before the command you can supply the channel where you want to publish the results, if not channel supplied then it would be the SmartBot Channel or on the DM if the command is run from there. Remember the SmartBot needs to have access to the channel where you want to publish.
 
+In case you create a *bgroutine* instead of a normal *routine* then the results of the run won't be published.
+
 If you want to hide the routine executions use `add silent routine`. It won't show the routine name when executing.
 
+To see the last result of the execution you can call `see result routine NAME`
