Arranging Panels -Bridge

I just touched something that toggled my panels in Bridge from vertical to horizontal & I can't find out how to restore the layout I have used for years. This has never happed before. Is there a toggle button or command for horizontal vs vertical panels that I tapped inadvertently? The hamberger option for Vertical Layout / Horizontal Layout doesn't seem to affect the panels in relation to eachother. I previously had Folders stacked above Collections at left, with Content & Preview side by side to right.

Solution does not appear in Google searches or Adobe user guide that I can find. (please no scolds for not finding the right page)

Thanks

I think you're looking for this (left-click on the hamburger menu for any Content Panel):

However, be forewarned: when you have it set to "Vertical Layout," the files/folders will wrap from left to right and then, at the end of the given space, wrap down to the next row and continue from left to right. This is just like word-wrapping.

 

If you change this to Horizontal, it doesn't wrap. It will continue from left to right until the last file is viewed. This is the format used in the Filmstrip Workspace. Some folks don't pick up the dynamics of this.

 

Hope that's what you were looking for

There is a menu option to restore your previously saved layout. This should work unless you saved the bad layout after it happened.

I think you would have to drag one panel ot top of the other and place it on top or side then release it.
