The notifications do not currently link to the specific product that is shown in them, but simply to general areas in the backend, leaving you to search for the object you have been notified about.  I hope this can be upgraded so that where where there is an image, it takes you to that specific product. 

For example, I'll often see a notification that says "you have one product that needs optimization."  Let's say I think, wow, I really want to fix that item and get it back into marketplace.  But if I click on that notification it brings me to the big general listing of all of my products that need optimization instead of to the specific product I just saw an image of.  I would have to hunt - sometimes through several pages, to find that item I'd been notified about.  So I wind up not doing anything about it at that moment. It would be much more effective as a prompt if I could click on the image and immediately fix or delete the item that needs optimization.

The sales notifications also bring you to a generic page - the page with all recent sales.  That works for me, and I think it's less important for those notifications to go to the item page. 

However, it would be really helpful if those optimization prompts took me right through to the specific product so I can take action on it.  I would definitely get more done.

I agree. I've been waiting and hoping for a change to this "Your product may need optimization" feature for some time now! It is a bit annoying to receive these notifications and not have them Iink "directly" to the product shown. I've fixed a few after receiving the notifications, BUT only after searching through a slew of pages to find the particular product I was just notifed about! So, I NO longer bother with it as it's a waste of time and frustrating searching for the products. Instead I fix them as I come across them in my backend category folders.
 
It would be so nice and more useful if Zazzle can fix this "optimization notification" to link "directly" to the product just by clicking on it! ‌🙂
 
About a year ago before all of this, I was optimizing products that I noticed in my backend with the "Exclamation Symbol" by the product. But then I kept seeing these same products show up in my backend of products on pages over and over again. What I finally figured out was that after I edited the title, description or tags and clicked to submit the changes, that that wasn't the last step and that's why some time later I'd see them again with the symbol because they were hidden! Back then I didn't realize what it meant still seeing the symbol after submitting the changes so would re-submit it again! I finally had realized before submitting the optimization changes via the Action, or Edit Details buttons in the backend for the particular optimization product, that I also had to first click on "Additional Information", and click "Public" and then Submit the changes. Only then after refreshing the page, the red triangle with exclamation symbol disappears and the product is now again visible!
 
It would be nice if we did not have to do this last step of remembering to click "Public" after making the other Optimization Changes - and the system would just automatically make it Public when submitting these types of changes (instead of Hiding them), since that's why we were optimizing them, to once again be visible and public in the marketplace. 
 
Thank you
