My problem is that a gazillion notifications partially hide my KM palettes.
I read extensively on the configuration of notifications (alerts, banners, group or not, preview or not) and could not find a solution that way.
thanks in advance for your time and help
As someone who is almost entirely notification-averse, my first question would be do you really need all those gazillion notifications? I don't think there's any way to to put KM palettes on top of system notifications, but I get so few notifications because I automatically disallow any new notifications and only add notifications as absolutely needed/wanted that notifications obscuring palettes has never been an issue for me.
I understand your point and went though the notification list one by one. I really need them: KM, calendars, reminders, and notifications from many apps (carbon copy cloner, email from people listed as VIP, notifications from forums, etc etc etc)
thank you for your reply.
No worries, you needn't justify your use of notifications to me or anyone. I only mentioned it because I often find that many people never even consider their notifications or that they might not need some or even most of them! Every app wants to demand our attention, which can be inconvienent at best and actually damaging at worst; however, there are, of course, some essential notifications, which will be different for everyone.
very true !
The design of the notification system suggests to me that Apple believes that the user should drop everything and respond to notifications immediately, or at least, in the very near future (and if you don’t do that, it’s user error again!).
In my macro to Dismiss notifications about Sequoia, I use OCR to get the text content of notifications. I wonder if you might find it helpful to do the same, and then copy that text to an alert system or log of your choosing.
Or you could allow Notifications for the apps you don't want to be interrupted by, set the "type" to "None", but leave "Show in Notification Centre" turned on -- then you aren't disturbed by them but can see them in Notification Centre whenever you want.
What would be a QoL improvement is if we could change that setting for a group of apps in a single click, without burning a Focus mode or setting DND. Oh, and the ability to choose where on the screen the damn things appeared...
very interesting idea. Just have a log. I will look at your macro. thanks very much
thank you. The problem is that there are so many I need to see in real time and the fact that I will be too lazy to regularly click on the notification center. Thanks very much.
I have the same problem -- I need to see them ASAP except when they get in the way of what I'm doing. Unfortunately, Notification Centre has yet to develop psychic powers 
I'm afraid the best you can do is put those palettes somewhere where they aren't blocked -- or resign yourself to the fact that you can only fit so much on a screen before things start covering other things up...
I tried using an old iPad, but it became tedious and I dropped the idea.
Did you consider using your iPad as a screen extender for your Mac, (a second screen) so the notifications occur on the iPad and the palettes appear on the other monitor? It may work.
There is only one right way to do anything, and it is for Apple to decide what that is. 
I never think to look inside the “notification center”. It seems like a place to hide cattle prods to me. I have enough competing interruptions on my time and attention without all the nonsense that is in there.
Shut the hell up, Logic.
I looked into the following:
Why is that a problem? You can put the palette on the other screen.
good idea. I will try. thank you
