Why has Content aware "fill" been replaced with Content aware "scale"?

Have there been any recent updates that changed where CA Fill used to be in the Edit drop down menu?  The spot is now replaced with Content-Aware Scale.  I can't seem to find the Fill feature anymore.

    Look in Edit > Menus; Menu for: "Application Menus", Set: "Photoshop Defaults".

    Expand the Edit menu by clicking on the '>' by it, and scroll down until you get to  Content Aware Fill, between Fill and Content Aware Scale, and make sure the visibility is set (with the eyeball icon).

    For the record, it has not been replaced by Content-Aware Scale.

    In your screenshot, Content-Aware Fill is not visible where it should be: above Content-Aware Scale and under Fill... and Stroke...

    JJ, you have the Keyboard Shortcuts tab selected, not the Menus tab.

    What version of photoshop are you using?

    You need photoshop cc 2019 or aka version 20.0....

    In photoshop go to Help>System Info and the top line is the photoshop version.

    Seems like a Photoshop question, moving it to Photoshop forum.
