Can't select the join tool and few other tools in Illustrator 2019.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. As per the screenshot, you do not have join tool in your toolbar, however, you can add it by simply dragging it. Please try the steps shared by Monika. Let us know if that helps. If not, please try resetting preferences for Illustrator: How to set preferences in Illustrator

Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. You can also take a backup of the folders in case you want to. Location is mentioned in the article.

The screenshot shows the configuration panel for the toolbar. Directly in that dialog box you cannot select the tools for drawing. You might want to read the documentation. How to work with tools in Illustrator

You can just select the extended toolbar by either switching to a different workspace or by selecting it from WIndow > Tools

I made a keyboard shortcut for it, but is that required? I would much rather like to click it then using a shortcut
