🔧 Step-by-Step Guide to Reset Panels & Workspaces in After Effects

→ Click on Window: Open Adobe After Effects on your PC or laptop. In the top menu bar, click Window to access workspace and panel options.

→ Select Workspace: From the Window menu, hover over Workspace to view available workspace layouts (e.g., Standard, Editing, Animation).

→ Reset to Saved Layout: Click Reset to Saved Layout (or Reset [Workspace Name] to Saved Layout) to restore the selected workspace and its panels to their default arrangement.

💡 Why This Works: Resetting the workspace in After Effects reverts all panels (e.g., Timeline, Composition, Project) to their default positions, fixing issues like missing or misplaced panels caused by accidental changes or software glitches.

🔥 Extra Tips for Managing Panels & Workspaces in After Effects:
Save Custom Workspace: After resetting, customize your workspace (drag panels to desired positions), then go to Window → Workspace → New Workspace to save it for future use.

Check for Hidden Panels: If panels are still missing, go to Window and ensure all needed panels (e.g., Project, Timeline, Effects & Presets) are checked.

Reset Preferences: If resetting doesn’t work, hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (macOS) while launching After Effects to reset preferences. Back up custom settings first, as this clears all preferences.

Update After Effects: Go to Help → Updates in After Effects to ensure you’re running the latest version (e.g., 2024) to avoid bugs affecting workspace layouts.

Undock and Redock Panels: If a panel is off-screen, click Window → Select the panel → Drag it back to the workspace or reset the layout again.
