Can't See full Tool Panel for Elements 2025

I am using the Windows 11 version of Elements 2025.   When I first launched the Photo Editor Software and up until 3 weeks ago, it allowed me the same processes that Elements 2018 did, with full Tool Panel Access.  Now when I launch the Photo Editor, I only get a reduced Tool set (I can't even find the Eraser Tool) with really restrictive work area Before/After/Both options.  What happened?  Why can't I see the most basic tools?  There must be an easy switch somewhere.

Hi,
I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Make sure your in Advanced mode in order to see all the available tools.

Thank you Jeff.  I'm not sure how I missed that.  I think maybe I was trying to figure out to many things at once.  (Novice)
