I am not sure if this will work better or not. Currently, updates do not work well -- as in, user clicks "close" on notification, page reloadds as intended, but the version may not be updated unless this is done 2 or 3 times.

This issue did not exist when we used the modal -- ref diff D15521. However, I can't determine any core logic changed in that diff.

Potential fix here. If it doesn't work, will revert. But what we currently have doesn't work well either.

npm test to confirm this does not break the app. Will need to be observed over updates in prod to determine if this improves performance.
