Sending an announcement to a specific section
My specific questions are:
1) Am I mistaken and there is a way to do this? If so, I'd love if someone could walk me through the process.
2) If this isn't possible, could this perhaps be implemented as a feature in Brightspace? There's all sorts of core course information which should be available on a course website but which is only pertinent to some sections of a tutorial/recitation to a course so such a feature would be very widely used (and is widely used on other comparable LMSs).

In Announcements, you can choose to use release conditions, one of which is Enrolment in Section, that should do the trick. If in the Announcement creation page, scroll down to the section "Additional Release Conditions". Depending on the roles and permissions of the TA they might only see their sections.

Hi Daniel,
You can create a release condition for the announcement you want to go to the section. When you create or edit the announcement, scroll down to "Additional Release Conditions". Click on Create and Attach.
Select Condition Type - Section enrollment. Then select the section you want to see the announcement.

Thank you both for your answers! I assumed "release conditions" just had to do with the timing of when the announcement was released, I now see that it does a lot more than that (notably what I was looking for!).
