Hi, I'm new to the Affinity Photo desktop app (and any photo editing app to be honest!) and not very technically savvy at all so apologies in advance! Recently I noticed the Inpainting Tool is missing from the vertical menu bar on the left and I can't seem to find it anywhere. I find this tool invaluable and am hoping for pointers on how to relocate it or perhaps how to 'reboot' the app back to factory settings, so to speak. Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated. Again, I must remind you I'm an idiot so will need to be spoken to as such!! :-D

You do not have to be an idiot to miss the small triangles on many of the tool icons that indicate there are other tools accessible from that icon location. To get the fly-out @HVDB Photography shows in his reply, you can either click on that tiny little triangle or just click & hold on the icon & after a short delay the fly-out will open.

You can also customize the tool panel by choosing "Customize Tools ..." (not "Customize Toolbar") on the View menu, so for example you could add the Inpainting tool to some location in the panel not shared by any other tool.

Thank you so much! I used the 'Customise Tools' option to re-add the Inpainting tool to the panel. Appreciate you and @HVDB Photography taking the time to reply :)
