const link = "https://your-slug.helpdocs.io/article/x";
// We create a new div element

// then add the text to the newly created div
banner.appendChild(newContent);
banner.appendChild(a);
// finally it's added before the #main element
mainDiv.prepend(banner);
// et voila! You have an announcement banner ✨
