In my toolbox I find a bandaid icon which is only for the healing brush.  I can't find the spot healing brush.  Where it it?

Click and hold on the healing brush and the other options in the same toolbar location will become visible

If spot healing is still not in that list right-click on the 3 dots and open up the toolbar customize menu. Ensure the spot healing brush is dragged into that group.

    Hi @vinomoni 

    What version of Photoshop do you have? If you have a newer version of PS, you can also go to Edit > Toolbar.

    Thanks.  I found the spot healing brush when I followed your directions to edit the toolbox.  I don't know how it left the toolbox but ow I know how to get it back!

      I also found my missing spot healing brush with your directions.  How can I get it to appear on the toolbar?  Also, when I use the instructions to customize the toolbar, absolutely nothing happens!  Not after I click Done, not after I restart PS, never!  What am I doing wrong?  I'm using your excellent tutorial and sometimes having trouble matching my options with yours.

      Hi Elizabeth - try resetting the toolbar.

      Go to the three dots and right click

      In the menu that opens click on "Restore Defaults" - then Click "Done"
