Can't see some pods in FrameMaker 11

Question

I'm suddenly unable to see some of the pods in FrameMaker 11. For example, the Variables pod. I tried View > Pods > Variables, Window > Panels > Variables, and Special > Variables, but nothing shows up. What am I missing?

Meaning another document? I've opened and closed several documents and books, and restarted FM several times since noticing the problem last Thursday.

No, I mean one of those Workspaces – top right corner – authoring, review, design, etc. – maybe the one you use has gotten corrupted?

My variables pod was there, but empty. I was going to import variables from our template, when I collapsed the book file and the variables displayed. With the book file expanded, no variables show within the pod, even when double-clicking on a variable. It's very disconcerting.

I guess I'll keep the book file collapsed until generating or manipulating files within it. It's odd though. Is it a bug or a feature?
