Hello @Astonished_joy5409,

I'm sorry to hear the suggestions did not help. Could you confirm the exact version of the OS/InDesign installed and share a small screen recording of your exact workflow and the problem, so we can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Beata,

you are looking for the Control panel.

Like all other panels it's available under Window > Control.

The only panel that behaves a bit different is the new PDF Comments panel that is only available when a document is open.

Uwe

There is no "Control" in the Window dropdown on a Mac.

Hi @John24472726qybf,

Thank you for reaching out. Would you mind trying to open the "Control Panel" using the shortcut Option+CMD+6?

If that doesn't work, please try resetting the preferences. Please also confirm the InDesign and the macOS version.

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika
