-The `persistant_notification` component exposes configuraation errors to the frontend.
+The `persistant_notification` can be used to show a message on the frontend that has to be dismissed by the user.
 
 The service `persistent_notification/create`. Takes in `message`, `title`, and `notification_id`. If `notification_id` is given, it will overwrite the notification if there already was a notification with that id.
