I know this is a stupid question but I'm new to affinity. Somehow I managed to remove the window to the right that has the HSV tab the swatches tab and the appearance tabs at the top and I can't figure out how to restore it..

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

If the Right Studio is the only thing that's missing, it could be Window > Studio > Show Right Studio.

But often what's happened is that lots more is missing, and sometimes users have then painstakingly figured out how to restore individual pieces of the User Interface and just ask when they hit something they couldn't figure out.

If a lot of things were missing, you probably just pressed Tab, and all you need to do to recover everything is press Tab again.

Once you have the studios and toolbars to your liking with some customisations, it's worth saving it in a preset. The preset system is absurdly half-finished and Byzantine in comparison to the best examples of that feature, but it's definitely better than nothing.

I have a similar problem on a brand new MAC Laptop with m1 chip. There are no palettes on the right side of my working window. I did find the new hidden "Studio" but nothing checked appears. i.e. histogram, info, layers, channels - NOTHING appears. I tried "left studio" but only get a macro of some sort. I tried " studio right" and nothing appears. I tried "studio reset" but nothing appears. I tried add a curves layer manually to see if it appeared on the right but it disappeared when checked. 

What am I doing wrong? I ve been a user since the beginning. New V2 is a puzzle. I'm amazed this doesn't come up all the time. program is unusable withoput these items. All it shows are "tools:

Thank You for you help

@brainstorm, please tell us the exact the names of what you see in the Windows menu below the "Studio" submenu, & the last 4 items in what that submenu shows if you click on it.
