Go to menu Window > Shapes then click at the top right of the panel that opens and in the drop down menu choose "Legacy Shapes and More"

the trouble with putting a commitee in charge of something is they 'FEEL' something needs to change so they add a boat... then it gets sent to another dev team and they put the boat in its own box so people can find it but no one sees it so another team makes that box the default and sticks all the old things into Legacy shapes ... then Adobe has 2000 'meetings' and no one puts their hand up to say 'WTF' so it becomes law and at that point the ACP see it, point out that its busted but its too late to fix by then because Adobe has already done it

 

rinse and repeat about 4 times a year and you end up with the current state of Adobe software... to be fair, some changes are good

Whatever PM approved removing these as default and hiding them behind some window you never use, and a dropdown menu should be fired. What a joke. 

Why wouldn't you default to have it be included and users can remove them if they want? 

And of course this option is not available in the Shapes pop-up window as you would expect it.

It's changed for the better.  If you  have a Favorite Folder, you can drag it to the top of the list. You can also create a new Folder and drag your favorite shapes into it. The search bar allows you to see all arrows or music notes shapes as an example. The Heart shape came from another folder. So what I need is all in my custom folder.

I just dragged it there and it stays put.

Below the search box are your recently used shapes which may save you looking for it again.

Learn how to use the Shapes Panel and it will work for you.

Hi Sara

 

Can you show a screenshot of your Shapes panel (Window menu) with the panel menu (lines in upper right) opened so we can see all of the options?

It's very unintuitive. This is what the menu looks like. There's no real indication that you have to access the hamburger menu to find "Legacy Shapes and More"

I agree, arrows should be standard not legacy.  this is really weird.  Who signs off on these things?  Do they actually use photoshop?
