Thanks Atlassian for rolling this out to the Confluence Standard subscription too. I think many users have been wondering why this was only available for Premium.
That the scheduling of banners is only available for Premium makes more sense than not having this feature at all.

Thanks again!

Is this like an early access feature and likely to be removed/restricted in the future?
