I can't find Auto Mask for a brush mask.

Granted I took some time off this summer, so maybe I just forget something, but I can't find the Auto Mask function for a brush mask. I use this a significant amount and frequenty use the 'W' keyboard shortcut to toggle it on and off. But now - first day back at ACR editing since a couple months off - I can't seem to locate the Auto Mask for brush masking. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly apprecirated.

I also notice that the other brush attributes like feather, flow, and density seem to be missing too. And I can't find the 'W' shortcut in the help for keyboard shourt cuts. Weird, or am I losing it?

 

version 17.5.0.2318 ACR on Windows 11

Ah, I'm stupid. Found it. I was going to try and recall (delete) my post but, again, I couldn't figure that out. So instead I will an answer to the above post.

The little twisty triangle thingy.

And what's really bad, it that a coulr weeks ago I answer this very question in another forum. Man it sucks to get old.

 

Thanks, (and sorry for wasting your time - I moust figure out how to delete a post that I created),
