How do you turn off or customize Notifications on a Mac?

To turn off or customize Notifications on a Mac, accessing the Notifications preferences icon in the bottom-right corner of Notification Center is the correct approach. This area provides a centralized location where users can manage their notification settings for various applications and system features.

By clicking on the Notifications preferences icon, you can view all installed apps that send notifications and adjust settings such as alert styles, sound options, and whether to show notifications on the lock screen. This customization helps tailor how and when notifications appear, enhancing user experience and productivity.

Other options do not provide a direct or effective method for managing notifications. For instance, accessing the Spotlight Preferences pane is not relevant to notifications and focuses on search functionalities instead. The Bring All to Front option under the Window Menu helps with window management, not with notifications. Uninstalling the Notification Center app is not a practical solution, as it is an integral part of the macOS experience, and removing it would not customize notifications but rather eliminate them entirely.
