New AI "Actions" Panel Not Populating

After watching Anthony Morganti's video

I wanted to try out the new Actions panel. When I clicked on the Actions icon, however, the panel opened, but there was nothing in it (see attached screenshot). I tried with several different photos. I'm running MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1, Photoshop Beta 26.7.0. Any thoughts on how to get the Actions to show up?

 

Thanks!
Nicole.

Looks like the panel is populated but its size needs an increase in height.

 

Are you able to grab the bottom edge of the panel and resize it? 

 

Another option would be to reset the Essentials workspace via Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials. This should adjust the default size of the Actions panel to the new taller defaults.

If you are short on screen space, like using a laptop, then if you size and position the Actions pane to something useable, you can toggle it on and off using F9.  It's similar with several other panels (see table below) If you are OK for screen space, and using Actions, you'll have seen that you can use those Function keys to trigger your actions.

Yes! I was able to grab the bottom edge of the panel and resize it. I just never thought to try that. I have plenty of screen space, so not sure why it defaulted to such a small size. In any case, thank you!
