Beta PS Strawberry Letter - panels disappear when using neural filter?

Question

I've using the new Beta PS but when I go to neural filters now all of my panel menus disappear which makes colorizing really difficult because I no longer have access to my swatches. With the previous version, when setting color points in the colorize window, I had access to my swatches where I had many swatches stored for different colors that work well. For instance flesh tone, sky, concrete, asphalt as well as colors the neural filter commonly uses. Now these are gone when the filter window is open. Can I get these back somehow or is this just how the Beta works?

Photoshop allows you to customize the application layout, including which panels are open and where they are positioned. These customizations are called "Workspaces." Photoshop comes with a number of default workspaces (Motion, Painting, Photography, etc). You can customize them and create new ones. You can add missing panels by going to the Window menu and selecting the desired panel.

Most of the time, you switch workspaces by going to Window > Workspace. However, one exception to this is going to Filter > Neural Filters also switches to a differnent workspace.

By default, the Neural Filters workspace only has the Neural Filters panel open. You can customize this workspace the same as others, adding and moving various panels (except for UXP-based panels, which will be greyed-out). But panels you have open in one workspace do not automatically carry over to other workspaces (unless you already had them open).

What likely happened for you is your preference settings were reset. This will cause workspaces to return to their default appearance. Thus, the Swatches panel would be closed when you enter Neural Filters. You can access it again from the Window menu while in the Neural Filters workspace.

I posted about this yesterday and didn't get a responce so I'm rephrasing this with some hope of some help.

In the previous version of PS, when you went into neural filters you still had access to panel menus so I could get at my swatches for color points in the Colorize window. With Strawberry Lake this is gone. Short of making a list of all my hex codes and typing them into the color picker everytime I want to use a color I know works and give expected results, is there a way to get to my swatches when the colorize window is open.

Willy nilly grabbing colors from the color picker is a pretty blunt tool to getting good results on the first click.
