Needs You

The list of things Switchboard can't fix by itself, each with the area that fixes it.

This row is pinned at the top of the sidebar only while something needs you. It goes away by itself once everything on it is fixed.

What's here #

Each item has a title, a line of detail and a Show button that opens the area that fixes it. Today the list can hold:

  • Switchboard Engine isn't running. Hotkeys, triggers and the palette are off until it starts. Fix it in Settings › Permissions.

  • A core permission isn't allowed. Macros that need it stop until you allow it. Also in Settings › Permissions.

  • One or more macros' checks are failing. The detail names them. Open the Macros row in Settings › Permissions to review the first.

Other areas can add their own items, such as an expired sign-in.

Tricks #

  • The same items show as a badge on the row of the area that fixes them.

  • After a macOS update, look here first.
