Why did I get a "needs permission review" notification for a moved app?

\n

Short answer: An update reinstalled the app and it now asks for new permissions. Storage Studio pauses the automatic re-move so you can review and approve before it moves the app back.

\n

An update reinstalled the app on your built-in drive, and the new version asks for permissions the old one didn't — such as camera, microphone or screen access. Rather than silently moving it and triggering prompts you wouldn't connect to Storage Studio, it pauses and asks you to review.

\n

Open Storage Studio, check the new permissions, and approve to let it move the app back to your fast drive, or leave it on your Mac.
