Colour keeps changing from what I set it to.

My document is set to CMYK. I created a colour in my library. I set the colour using the CMYK values, lets say 0, 0, 55, 0. I add it to the swatches. I click the colour in the swathes for an object. Hm. Doesn't look right. I check the colour setting

How can I collapse the left toolbar into one column instead of a wide column of which I can only see the far right edge (so it is unusable). I am brand new to Illustrator.

I need to collapse the left toolbar of tools into one column so I can see everything in it and get started on my first project.

I cannot move objects in Illustrator for Ipad, what’s the problem?

Ipad Ios is 26.6.2. I drew a circle, but cannot move it using either selection tool. I am also trying to draw concentric circles, but option drag is also not working. The layers are expanded and not locked.
