How do I get back the top edit toolbar on the new Confluence UI?

Danielle Green_1lthiv

I've got the new content layout beta in Confluence and have lost the top toolbar. Now my view is this: New navigation bar.jpg instead of this:

I can get the floating toolbar, but only when I have written and highlighted text and highlighted, which is really time consuming. Apparently it's a pinned toolbar, but I cannot find it listed in the 3 ellipses menu

or in Confluence Admin. Please help!

Actually, panic over folks - I found it!

If you do highlight text to get the floating toolbar, then the 3 ellipses on that will give you the option to change the toolbar. Phew.

I'll leave this here in case anyone else encounters the same issue

But WHERE is that? I got curious to see what the in-line with text option looked like and now I can't get the fixed toolbar back. I'm wasting so much time on this!

OMG ... finally fully read through what you wrote and found it. I just wasted 20 minutes on this!

Just an FYI, it looks like they might have changed the popup UI again. The restore option is now a pin icon in the the editor popup. Select some text on the page to display the popup editor toolbar. (Shown here with the pin icon highlighted and the tooltip displayed.)

Yes, this is the answer we're all looking for. Thank you! You have to highlight the text or click on the 3-dot button near your content on the left-hand side to bring up this hover-over menu, then click on the pin. This will restore the menu bar on the top. Looks like some of us get the pin, others get the option on the menu to select a different view based on version.

Yes, it's now a pin icon, why not have it pinned from day one so people have the option to un pin it instead of wasting time trying to figure it out, we've got work to do.

Atlassian excels in making mindless changes to the UI. Now it seems that I have to pin the toolbar over and over again, because it unpins itself randomly.

Dan is actually a king for this response! TY! :crown:

This new feature has been quite disruptive and is making our workflows more difficult. We rely on having the edit bar consistently visible at the top, so it would be helpful if this were the default behavior. If it does get removed, it should be easy to restore. In its current state, this change is negatively impacting our productivity.
