Lost Imported Presets visible

I logged into PS this morning, had a 'New Features' box appear and clicked OK.

My interface to PS then changed to a minimalistic view and my previous imported PHLearn Presets on a drop down menu to the right of my main screen but to the left of my layers workflow screen, disappeared.

I am not looking to import them again, so really hope they are just hidden within the 'new features' change. I am currently using version 26.4 (if needed) since this morning, but have updated a previous version since to try to resolve, so am sitting on 26.3 as I write.

Not overly technical minded, could someone give me the 'idiot's step-by-step to get the presets panel back.

(See attached which indicates where it sat on the page. It could be closed and opened through an arrow facility as needed.)

The 'Extension (Legacy)' was greyed out as an option, but from your comment, and Jane's before you, it appeared it had to be a reset of the workspace rather than 'actions lost'. Clicking down all the various workspace presets, the 'photography' preset brought in the 'actions' arrow and opening that up showed all my Phlearn and other actions as was.

A relieved guy here, but it would be nice if further Adobe updates even stated that the workspace would be reset upon upload, which would save the panic that set in yesterday !!.

I'm grateful for your input - Many Thanks

Try Window > Extensions (Legacy) if you see the missing plugin there, click to enable it.

You should then be able to dock it to any minor panels you have on the right of your screen.

Drag it to the botton of the column, and move it up till you see the blue line. Then release the mouse button.

What I suggest you do then, is to save your preferred arrangment as a custom workspace. Doing this will mean you will keep the arangement whenever the workspace is reset.

If you have any custon shortcuts and toolbar, make sure those options are checked in the New Workspace dialog.

Regards the 'mninimistic view' make sure you organise your panels before saving the custom workspace. You can share that workspace with other versions like the Beta, if you are using it.
