Comment (by celloexpressions):

 This is primarily needed for general errors that aren't tied to a
 particular setting. Additionally, setting-specific errors would also be
 displayed here and linked to the corresponding setting, so that clicking
 on the notification will provide context. If there are multiple save-
 blocking errors, with out this you'd have to search through all of the
 sections to find the other errors. It's important to note that the
 indicator would only be visible when there are multiple notifications
 (single notifications are autofocused when you try saving), and it could
 potentially only be visible when there are errors as well.

 The benefit to having the notifications toggle open is that we can also
 collect info and warning (and custom) notifications here so that users can
 more easily navigate to the settings with issues. If they display at the
 top (which isn't actually possible with our current CSS and JS), we'd only
 show errors there.

 What can we do in terms of UI to make an indicator next to the save button
 that indicates that there are errors to address rather than seeming like
 notifications such as comments?
