    Hi GregoryB 

    It appears that the Quick Access Toolbar in the Power Query Editor is only present when the Theme is set to Default, but not when set to Dark, Light, or Use system setting 😞

     

     

    The good news is that your previous QAT settings should be restored if you switch back to Default.

     

    I don't see why this should be the case, and I'll be submitting some feedback on this!

I set it back to the default theme and it did not correct the issue.

Just confirming, did you select "Legacy"? I see that the naming has changed since my earlier post.

 

In my installation (2.138.1203.0 64-bit (November 2024)), only "Legacy" enables the QAT.

Any of "Dark", "Light" or "System default" disable the QAT.

    Oh, you're right! It was on "System default". I just swithced to "Legacy" and bingo- the QAT is back. Awesome, thank you!

      Only that Legacy is a pain to the eyes when you come from dark mode.

      Guess I must get used to Alt-W-Q (opens advanced editor)
