Nothing in my Quick Actions :(

I am using Photoshop 23.5.0

I made a background copy layer.

I went to Properties > View More

then under Quick Actions, it's all empty

for all categories.

 

Does Quick Actions require adobe creative cloud?

That might be it!
Let us know how is it going when installed. It's always useful if any other user find themself in the same situation.


BINGO.  I was right.  

It was because I didn't have adobe creative cloud installed.  Once I installed it

I was able to find all the options in my Quick Actions.   

Hope this helps anyone else in the future that runs into the same problem!

I took a screenshot.  From online tutorials I saw, in this section quick action should have a whole slew of options to do things like enhanced photo with one click.  Mine is completely empty.

In addition to @c.pfaffenbichler answer...
Your quick actions are contextual. They will change according to what is selected/visible. If you only have a solid colour background for now, you won't have much showing.

if you type a text and select it, then you will have all the text related quick actions, a vector path: all the vector quick actions and so on...

The best bet is to test it yourself, create new layers/objects and see how the quick actions panel change and it will give you a better idea.

    Yes, tried that too.  I created a duplicate layer like they all show in the videos and my Quick actions still empty.  Is there something I need to install? A plugin? Adobe Creative Cloud?  The reason I ask is when I use Adobe After Effects, in order to use some effects/filters I had to install Motion Factory.  If I didn't have an account with Motion Factory in AE, when loading the effects, no effects would show up.  So I thought maybe with Photoshop, I need to install something?

    Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Properties, Options Bar, …) visible?

    If you are using a current version of Photoshop you appear to be using Creative Cloud so what do you mean?
