InDesign Right Side Panels not opening and closing (2024)

I only use InDesign 2022 as the latest updates don't allow you to open and close the right hand side icons panel when they are collapsed to just the smaller icons, when clicking.

I don't want the panels all 'open' as I find navigating in between them a nightmare, slows me right down and is very annoying.

Hi @prospecth77173023:

Nothing changed for me after updating to 2024, but I don't migrate preferences, which can become corrupt between versions. Eugene and Steve gave you two different approaches: I'd say deleting preferences is faster than the CC Cleaner tool, but either should take care of this for you.

As we said earlier, this is not a feature change, but instead an issue with preferences. What have you done so far to rebuild them? You can start here: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/.
