Been using Dreamweaver CS5.5 for years and now switched to CC.  Missing the HTML properties tab at the bottom of the Classic desktop view.  For those who don't recall, it's a tab that includes some basic HTML formatting, link management, etc.  Appears I have to use menu dropdowns now for the same functions.  How do I add it back?

    "...a tab that includes some basic HTML formatting..."

    The new Properties panel has a button for HTML and another for CSS.

    Use CSS to create new styles.

    Use HTML to apply IDs, classes, etc... to content.

    You can open it under Window > Properties or hitting the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F3.

    Release the tab to lock the window in place.

    Save your newly modified Workspace by going to Window > Workspace Layout > Save Current
