Stack Version Sets

Question

I have Windows 11 and Photoshop Elements 2022. I may have the terminology wrong, but previously when I used Instant Fix to edit a photo, it would stack the edited version on top of the original. In the Organizer, the edited photo had a triangle (arrow?) on the right side of the edited photo and when I clicked on it, it would open the stack so that the original photo was beside the edited photo.

My problem now is that I don't have the triangle (arrow?) after editing. I do have a Version Set square in the upper-right corner of the edited photo. I think I must have changed something, possibly in the Edit tab, so that I cannot unstack the photo to see my original. I click on the Edit tab and the Stack and the Version Set in the drop-down menu are grayed out.

I have used Photoshop Elements 11, Photoshop Elements 2020, and now Photoshop Elements 2022 and have never run across this problem previously. As a warning to anyone offering help, I'm an old retired dude and definitely not Mr. Computer Tech! :-))

You have to be in the Details view to open/expand a stack whether it is a version set or a stack. Press Ctrl+D, and you will have the ability to view all photos in the stack. I don't use it very often, but I don't think the view you are in has ever had the ability to expand a stack.

The following screenshot shows an image that is part of a stack (jpeg+raw files) and a version set. It has different icons for each.

Here is the same image in the Details view with the arrows that you are used to.
