Workspace Area at Top of Display Only Shows Essentials

I'm starting to use Bridge 14.1.0.257, and when I look at the user guide, the workspace area at the top of the screen shows Essentials, Libraries, Filmstrip, Output, Metadata, and Workflow.  I only see Essentials. I've attached screenshots of what I see in the user guide and what I see.  I've edited workspaces to put Filmstrip and Output below the word "Bar", and Bridge will only display Essentials.  I can access Libraries, Filmstrip, Output, etc if I click on the double arrow to the right of Essentials.  I've uninstalled Bridge and deleted Preferences and reinstalled and have the same results.  Has there been a change to Bridge where I should only use the double arrows or is there something I have to do that I missed?

Hi @gary_sc,

I think I found the answer.  I'm using Windows 11 23H2 on a Dell XPS laptop with a 17" screen.  In Settings>System>Scaling the recommended scaling is 250%.  When I changed it to 200%, I could have Essentials and four other items, and when I changed it to 175%, I could have Essentials and five other items displaying. I'll do some more research on scaling.  Thanks for your help.

Hi, @GGibas45, if you look at your top bar, you'll see a vertical line. I'm pointing to it here:

 

If you mouse-over that line, you'll see your cursor change. When you see the change, drag to the right, and it will expose all of the other Workspaces you have room for.

 

BTW, I'm sure you've found this already, but if you mouse-down on the double arrow, you can access other Workspaces that there is no more room for, as well as hiding Workspaces you'll never use. Also, if you click on the hamburger menu to the right of any active Workspace, you'll see a bunch of options for that workspace. [Note: you can only update one of your created Workspaces; you cannot update a default Workspace.]

Hi @gary_sc,

I forgot to mention that I tried to move the bar.  I get the indicator for it to move, but it will not move to the right.  It will move to the left. I think I've seen this previously, but I cannot remember the app or how it was fixed, if it was fixed.
