Hello. I seem to have lost the Transform Panel from the right hand side of the screen. From the rectangle tool I have drawn a rectangle on my page. But when I go back onto it again after clicking onto the move tool, the transform panel does not show up. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums, @JEC.

The Transform panel does not automatically show up when you switch to the Move Tool. If you had switched to a different studio panel in that part of the studio, you need to manually click on the header for the Transform panel (which may show in its tab as Xfm).

Or possibly you don't have the Transform panel displayed at all: View > Studio > Transform to select it if it's not already selected there.

Or possibly you've hidden the studio completely, or hidden the right-hand studio. Again, View > Studio will help with that.

Or, possibly even more is missing, in which case maybe you hid the entire user interface (View > Toggle UI would recover from that).

If those don't help, a screenshot of your workspace would let us provide more information.

Hello Walt,

Oh dear, it's sooo easy when you know how. I didn't have the Transform Panel displayed. Or as it had been displayed, somehow closed it, so your first 'or possibly' was correct.  I am an old time Page Plus user and I am just trying to get to grips with this software.

Many thanks. Now I can get back to what I was doing without resorting to bagging my head on my desk!!

Regards, JEC

Thanks for the ideas to find the actual issue. I followed and now I can see the panel
