common control in undocked editor
Show older comments
I use an undock editor in 2026a
The common control (in the Editor/ Publish/View line in the top of the toolstrip) with the follong ticks: "save" "undo" "redo" "help" disappear in the editor window
So I connot have undo or redo arrows in this line
I need these arrows in the editor window (undocked)
I only can use contol z or control Y

Answer from AI:
The Editor toolbar buttons hide when undocked to save screen space.
- Right-click the Toolstrip area or the Window Header.
- Select Customize...
- Choose the tools you want to restore (Undo, Redo, Save, Help) and click Add to make them accessible in that view.

Hi Yehouda,
It is my understanding that you are using the Editor in an undocked view and are not seeing the common control buttons (such as Save, Undo, Redo, and Help) in the toolbar.
You can restore these controls directly from the Editor toolbar options. In the undocked Editor window, click on the Common Controls dropdown (small downward arrow near the icons) and select “Restore Defaults”, as shown in the attached screenshot. This will reset the toolbar and bring back the missing buttons such as Undo and Redo.
If required, you can also manually enable specific buttons (Save, Undo, Redo, Help) from the same menu.
If the issue persists, you may try re-docking the editor and then undocking it again to refresh the layout.
