Lost the edit controls on the Essential Graphics panel

[Michael_NextWord]

 I can no longer see my controls on the Edit tab of the Essential Graphics panel. I’m highlighting photos to reposition and I get nothing, but the controls still appear when I work titles and text. I've been repositioning and centering photos all morning, then this afternoon the controls disappeared. And it is not just one project. Same problem no matter which one I open. I’m still a newbie, so I hope I’ve turned something off and can’t figure out how to get it back on, but it doesn’t feel that way.

All thanks,

Michael
