How do I get the basic panel in the develop module to reappear in Lightroom 5?

[Lexigirl]

Hello! I was editing a photo in Lightroom 5 the other day, and I thought I hit something, but all of a sudden the basic panel was missing. I went online to see how I can fix it, and what was suggested was to right click on one of the panels and it should have an option that says basic, in order to get the basic panel back. That is what I did, but what it does is just opens and closes the panels. I don't know how to get my basic panel back, I hope I can get some advice.

Thank You!

You'll get the very best advice in the Lightroom forums. This is the Photoshop forum.

On the right hand side of the screen about the middle you should see an arrow/triangle. Click on it to lock the panel into view. Click it again to make it auto hide.

The trick is to right-click on one of the other panel headers, e.g. Tone Curve, and you'll see a context menu allowing you ro reselect the Basic Panel.

Alternatively, when in the Develop Module simply do Ctrl+1 (Cmd+1 on a Mac), or in the menu bar go to Window>Panels>Basic Panel.
