Add swatches to main palette

How do I populate this tool in the upper left corner of the screen?  It just has the no fill and registration icons.  Thanks.

You need to have a document open that contains swatches.

If you open an image, you will see none.

You can load swatches from the swatches panel.

Thank you, Tom.  I was starting with a jpg.  Problem solved.
