Elements 20221 back up catalog to Removable hard drive

New computer, new elements 2023. Restore the catalog - no errors.

All the images are there - but NONE of the tags are there.

THe tags are critical to meet my deadline and I am not in the same city as the original computer so I cannot "go back"

Anyone know how to get my tags back?

Feeling desparate. ( I have scoured the forum and google and have not found an answer)

If the catalog was properly converted, you need to be in the Details view to see the keyword tags.  Press Ctrl+D to toggle the view on. 

Or perhaps I am not understanding your question.  Have you failed to toggle the Keyword Tags panel on?  You can find the toggle button in the lower right of the Elements Organizer window:

Tags panel is toggled on

View Menu Details (ctrl-D)  menu item is disabled/grayed out.

View Filenames is also grayed out

Problem soved-

I tried to add new tags and  found a dialog that knows the names of all the tags I created previously - and realized that I hadn't expanded Other (I never have int collapsed normally)  Duh.
