How to use the Patch tool in Photoshop 26.8?

The patch tool used to be next to the healing brush tool, but it's no longer there. How do I enable it again?

Glen, you mean the Discover panel?   

A very useful facility that will also link to tutorials on the selected/searched for tool/function.

I generally don't bother "looking for" any tool I don't see.   I open help and type in whatever tool I need- and it gets automatically selected.

yes, that is what opens when you select HELP>PHOTOSHOP HELP.   I stopped clicking thru and trying to find a specific tool when I realized I could type in whatever in the hlep menu.

It still shares the same slot. If you don't see it, go to Edit > Toolbar > Restore defaults
