Description (last modified by westonruter)

In #34893, the ability to show notifications on controls was added. In #35210 this is proposed to be extended at a global level to be able to show notifications at the root of the customizer. Between these two ends, there should also be the ability to show notifications at the panel and section level.

The Customize Posts plugin implements notifications for sections which could serve as a start for the patch here: https://github.com/xwp/wp-customize-posts/blob/0.8.2/js/customize-post-section.js#L825-L942

Once implemented, section notifications should be utilized for the Header Media section to show a notification when not previewing a URL that is eligible for a header video. See #38778.

  • Version set to 4.6

While it's probably generally a better practice to use control-specific descriptions and notifications, header media is a good example of where it can make sense to do this for certain sections and panels. Another potential use case could be an info notification in the menus panel when there are no menus that invites users to create their first menu and assign it to their theme's locations.
