Maintenance notice for users

[Tobias]

Hello everybody,

I have a general question about the application of Confluence to the administration below us. How do you inform the users about upcoming maintenance. I insert the whole thing via custom HTML, but then a second scroll bar appears when editing, because the publish button moves down.

I also publish a warning in the welcome area on the right side.
How do you do that? Is there possibly a nicer way?

Thank you very much

If you add a html string like in the example "at the beginning of the body" of custom HTML it should be ok, permanently visible and no problem with editing.
