2. Click the Edit Toolbar button, click the menu bottom in the upper right corner, and click on Advanced. This will put all tools, including the Smooth Tool, into the Toolbar. I believe they are positioned as

I usually assume these pop-ups are telling what new features have been added, NOT the fact that a very useful tool I've been using for years has been moved to an obscure new location

The Smooth tool has not been moved. It's still in one group with the pencil tool.

It has been moved from where anyone used to earlier versions of Illustrator would expect to find it, or would hope to find it, or would desperately search to find it.  That makes it damn inconvenient.

It's like suddenly hiding the Sword of Athena from the Wonderwomen during her fight. !!!

 Such an important tool moved to an obscure location. 

 

At least you should keep the search help toolbar like Mac for the Windows users of Adobe illustrator. I have been using illustrator for so many years, still, we Windows users don't get all these amenities and we sit each day searching for the required tools throughout the day.
