Ubuntu 24.04, Nextcloud version 31.01, Collabora Version Collabora Online Development Edition 24.0413.2 ded56d8ff7, apache2 server version 2.4.52, Chrome browser vesion 134.0.6998.88 in incognito window.  
I Installed a new system based on docker containers and apache reverse proxy setup.  
When opening a text document I am missing the ‘Tools’ pull down menue.

How do I fix this?

Hii @efe

Welcome!

In Collabora Online, when using the **Notebookbar mode** , the **Tools** menu is not shown as a separate pull-down menu. Instead, its options are categorized and distributed across different tabs based on their functionality.

If you prefer the traditional menu layout, you can switch to **Compact Mode** under the **View** tab. Once in **Compact Mode** , the **Tools** menu will be available as expected.

Thanks  
Darshan

Thank you very much, darshan. Being new on this forum, do I flag this thread ‘solved’? If yes, how?
