What should I understand when a reaction notification points to a reaction that was undone?
Treat the alert as a record that a reaction event occurred, not proof that the reaction is still present. The person may have undone it or the source item may have changed after the notification was created. Open the current post and check the reaction there. Do not infer that the alert is a second reaction, a current endorsement, or a promise that the source has not changed. If the post is unavailable, verify current access before drawing conclusions.
For Users whose activity notification points to a reaction that is no longer present. · Updated
A notification can outlive the current reaction
The notification and the current reaction state answer different questions. An alert may refer to a reaction action that was later undone; the post now shows the current state.
Open the current post before interpreting it
Use the notification to locate the relevant post, then inspect the reaction state that is currently shown. If the post is unavailable, check your current access instead of assuming that the notification preserves the reaction.
A reaction is undone after the alert
Suppose a member receives an alert that someone reacted to a club post. Later, the post shows no reaction. The alert can describe the earlier action; the current post is the place to check whether a reaction remains.

Does the alert prove the reaction is still active?
No. It may refer to an earlier reaction event. Check the current post to see whether the reaction remains.
