    If you mean these: 

    Reset workspace: window > workspaces > Reset to Saved workspace.

    It sounds like your timeline panel may be maximized, which can hide other editing tools. Try double clicking the sequence name again to restore the normal workspace. You can also check the Window menu to reopen any missing panels or reset your workspace to its default layout. If the toolbar is still missing, make sure the editing application is not in full screen mode.

    This is also useful when editing downloaded TikTok videos. Once your timeline and toolbar are visible, you can easily trim clips, add transitions, adjust audio, and prepare videos for sharing. Keeping your editing workspace organized makes the process smoother, especially when working with several short clips in one project.

    Another option is to split your single application window into multiple windows.

    That is correct: you need to make a video track first by adding a clip to the empty space. Then the tools will appear.
