Where did the touch mode button go?

I remember using and loving this special Touch UI mode on my old convertible laptop but one day the icon was gone. I thought this was a firmware bug with my laptop but the button is also missing on my brand new Surface Pro 11.

 

Is there a hotkey to open it or some settings file i have to edit to get the button back?

Hi @Soundwave857, thanks so much for reaching out!

I totally understand it might be a bit disappointing, but the touch workspace was removed from Lightroom Classic last year. If you'd like to share your thoughts or would like to see it return, I’d recommend posting on the Ideas board, those threads are regularly reviewed by the team.

Thanks again!

Is this a question about Lightroom Classic?

Yes, This button always was in the lower left corner next to the dual window buttons.

Assuming you have a touch enabled device, the mode should auatomatically activate when you disconnect the keyboard.
