# Do Storage Studio notifications come through when Focus is on?

Only the important ones. Informational notices arrive quietly and warnings show a banner when allowed, but notices Storage Studio marks as important can come through even while a Focus is on.

If you'd rather nothing comes through during a Focus, open **System Settings → Notifications → Storage Studio** and turn off **Time Sensitive Notifications**. Everything still appears in Storage Studio's own notification bell.
