All of a sudden today my little Format popup icons that appear next to visuals when you click on them stopped showing up. I also dont see the Format icon in the View > Show Panes are. I have tried on two different computers, logged in to a different account, did a app reset, and app repair in windows settings. I have not reinstalled yet because its happening on two different computers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I am missing, see the litte brush square icons that appear next to a visual.
This is also what I am missing, the Format icon in the View > Show Panes area.
This is me clicking on a visualization and no popup icon.
This is what I see. The format Icon missing
Solved! Go to Solution.
There was an update to the pane manager in March, maybe can check the Pane Manager settings?

Thanks for the response. I found that my Settings > Preview features had a bunch of things turned off. I toggled many of them back on and they both appeared. Have a great weekend!
