how to re-install older version of Photoshop in Creative Cloud

In Creative Cloud I had both Photoshop CC 2017 and 2018.  I had a problem with 2017 , so I uninstalled it, and was hoping to re-install it.   Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to re-install.  I've read that I should be able to find "Additional Apps" Under "Apps" in Creative Cloud, but that isn't there.  I also read that I should be able to find "Previous Versions" as well.  That isn't there either.  Even though I am logged into my account, I cannot figure out how to re-load the 2017 version.  I did find a support link that had the 2017 download, but when I try it, it opens 2018.  That version does not work properly on my computer, and I don't have the time right now to try to figure it out.  I need Photoshop CC 2017!  Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your response.  It didn't work for me, but  this is the correct way to do it, so hopefully it will help others.  I didn't realize that I had to use the down arrow to access the different versions, but when I did as you stated the installation failed.  Apparently something got messed up on my computer

    After looking online to determine what the error code was, I ended up contacting Adobe and the tech had to physically connect to my computer to download it.  It took a couple of hours, and many attempts before the tech was able to get it to work.  Unfortunately I now have to re-install all of my other Creative Cloud apps because the original folder had to be re-named and all file associations were dropped, but it is a small price to pay to get it fixed. 

    Thanks again, it's nice to have someone out there that knows what to do!
