 See [attachment:WF - CSS Warning.png] for an example. These tips will be
 dismissible notifications that only appear once. Once you dismiss them,
 they're gone.

 I don't think that this should be dismissible. Or rather, instead of a
 warning it could be just a notice. When editing `style.css` in the theme
 editor, I think there should be a persistent link to open the Additional
 CSS section in Customizer, as noted in a Better Code Editing
 [https://github.com/WordPress/better-code-editing/issues/17 issue]. This
 is similar to how there a persistent admin notice if you go to the legacy
 custom header admin screen:

 Or it could be similar to how there is a “Edit with Live Preview” button
 on the widgets admin screen.
