the reflection removal tool in lightroom does nothing, and the leave feedback button takes me to a dead page where you can't leave any feedback because the topic is locked

there is no way to tell the tool where the reflection needing to be removed is, it doesn’t change the image at all, and there is no effective way to submit feedback, the whole thing amounts to hollow slop

    Hi, Reflection Removal does not use a brush, so you do not paint or point to the reflection - it is applied automatically. Please try the official steps in this order: 1. Open a photo with window reflections in the Detail view. 2. Select Remove > Distraction Removal. 3. Select Apply to automatically detect and remove the reflection. 4. Adjust the Amount slider - set it to 100 to view the image with the reflection removed, and 0 to view the original image. Official guide: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/desktop/edit-photos/remove-reflections.html If it still shows no change after Apply, could you share which Lightroom version you are using and what kind of reflection is in the photo? That will help narrow it down.
