Why do some Storage Studio notifications appear quietly with no banner?

\n

Short answer: Informational notices arrive quietly without a banner, warnings show a banner, and important ones can break through Focus. A quiet entry is working as designed.

\n

Storage Studio sends each notice at a level that matches how much it matters:

\n
  • Informational items arrive quietly in Notification Centre, with no banner.
  • Warnings show a banner.
  • Important ones can come through even while a Focus is on.
\n

So a quiet entry is working as designed. You can also fine-tune banners for Storage Studio in macOS's System Settings → Notifications.
