"Select All Unused" option has disappeared from my menus when I'm in Character Styles and Paragraph Styles panels. It still appears in other panels like Colors. How do I get them back?

I quit all Adobe apps including Creative Cloud, restarted, updated InDesign to 20.1 (was running 20 when they disappeared), thinking the update might fixt it, but they are still not appearing. Checked Edit/Menus (see screenshot) to make sure both were still checked to be visible, and both are. I toggled that on and off, etc. No dice.

Any ideas? Thank you!

Correct answer Pariah Burke

Select All Unused has been moved to the panel menu. Instead of right-clicking on the panel, click on the tiny button in the top-left corner that looks like four horizontal lines. You should see the command there.

Can you actually show your Paragraph and Character panel menus?

Sure, thanks. Normally "Select All Unused" is among the menu options when I right-click from inside the panel.
Showing Colors too just to show that works.

I'm not sure exactly when they stopped showing, but I went to prepare a file for the printer yesterday and they were gone (before I updated to 20.1).
