Restore spot healing brush flyout menu

Last week I updated the latest PS 2021 upgrade and only noticed a day or two later the "hidden tools" (healing brush, content aware move, patch tool) were now in independent locales on the tool bar. This effectively makes use of the "J" kestroke shortcut meaningless. I HATE this change. Is it possible to restore the healing brush, patch and content aware tools to their previous bundle under the spot healing brush tool?

I don't think the update changed this behavior. It's likely you changed your workspace from "Essentials" to "Painting"

 

Go to Window > Workspace > and select "Essentials (Default)"

Or - go to Edit > Toolbar... and click (Restore Defaults).

»I HATE this change.«

Use Edit > Toolbar to organize the Toolbar as you like it (or reset it), no need to get huffy about it.

Thanks, this worked. Though I don't understand how these things happen in the first place. I never initiated any such change. It just occurred. 

 

Anyway, thanks again.

The important thing is that you now know how you can reset the Toolbar or customize it to meet your needs better.
