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

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

- **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.

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