PHOTOSHOP 2025 ~ V 26.7 ~ TOOLS PANEL DISAPPEARED

[RecipeGeek]

My side Tools Panel disappeared. I have tried to reboot, update the software & reset it. I looked for it in the menu bar, searched the internet and the Adobe Community, trying to get help. The only thing I could think of doing, possibly, is making a preset and loading it. 

**See attached screenshot** for what I am seeing [me in the middle ... Hi!]. Note, no tools panel down the side.

I am running Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 on a Macbook Pro M1

I thought I would ask the Brains Trust that is the Adobe Community.

However, I shouldn't have to do that, considering how much I am paying per month. I can't afford it, quite frankly, being on a pension. I used to pay the student rate as I am studying, and I use Creative Cloud for charity work as well. 

Just having a whinge ... trying to finish editing photos for a charity mag in Australia [volunteer].

When you look under Window menu, can you see Tools active (ticked)?
