How do I bring back my tools panel?

Hello,

When I had Illustrator open, I moved my Mac's view to the widgets desktop. When I went back to the desktop that had Illustrator, the tools panel and other panels were missing. I went back to the widgets desktop and the panels were there!

I could not figure out how to get them back over to the correct desktop, so I closed them. Now, back in Illustrator, I can't figure out how to open them up again.

I'd like to go back to the default setting. Please help!

Thanks and God bless,

Scott Miller

"Printfusion45 That is a TERRIBLE answer!"

 

That was the correct answer in 2012!

If you go digging up old threads, please get informed about how things were working in 2012.
