Missing Option in Swatches InDesign

[NBWAbeer]

All of a sudden, the option that is to the right of the swatches where you can see if it is CMYK, Spot Color or RGB is missing. Does anyone know how to get it back? Thanks!

Try resetting preferences. Set preferences in Adobe InDesign

Hi mjonas ,

if fear you have to remove your preferences and build them up anew.

Before doing anything backup the prefs. What is your exact version of InDesign and OS?

Regards,
Uwe

Some UI problems can be solved by clearing your InDesign Caches. Try that before deleting your preferences.

This folder: /Users/username/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version 13.0

Clearing the Cache and deleting preferences helped! I got my swatches back. Thank you everyone!

You're welcome!

Sounds like clearing the cache alone did not work and the deleting preferences was needed -- is that the case?

[Laubender]

We'll never know Barbara.

Unless mjonas did a backup of the old preferences and the old cache folder, deletes the preferences, starting InDesign and if that did not help, replaced the preferences with the backup preferences and then deleted the cache, starting InDesign again and sees if that has helped 🙂

Best,
Uwe

Yes, you're right. Just curious because it gives another data point if I encounter the issue in the future.

This same question has come up a number of times and clearing the cache is the fix. In any case you want to start with the caches because rebuilding prefs can take time

[NBWAbeer]

I deleted the preferences first. It cleared it up.

I cleared the cache after that just to make sure everything was running well.

Thanks for letting us know. I'm glad that everything is running well now.
