Suddenly my screen is changed. May be I used a wrong key..but i can not get the Original screen back.  
The screen with Title-Artist-Album-Year/track/genre-Comment-Directoy….etc- ending with the Image part, on the left side is gone.. _Now I only have a screen with all currently imported files and the drop down menus and the toolbar._  
I am sure that i touched some key(s) doiing this. I read already a lot info but i can not find to get the Original screen back.

Who can help me with the right answer…..????Herman Scheper

It's the Tag Panel that's gone missing. You can re-enable it via "View \> Tag Panel" or Ctrl + Q.

Tnx Florian for the very quick reply. It works what you told me but......when I started end of december the left 25% of my screen was filed with the Tag Panel and the other 75% was filled with the currently imported files and all above was toolbar etc.Maybe a other key combination..?

Can you choose "Beeld \> Tagpaneel" and see if it brings back the original layout?

Try "Beeld \> Invoervelden"

I think the function is called  
"Invoervelden"  
(and shows the shortcut Ctrl-Q)

Glad it's back and working. I've split the off-topic post to a new topic: [Player shows Unknown CDs](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/player-shows-unknown-cds/44235)

hello

I've got the "same" (more or less) problem. I used to have the tagpanel as the first column. Now it's gone on startup. I know that I can get it to pop-up via Crtl-Q, but . . than it covers the other columns (or part of it|). I would like to get it back as the most leftish column without covering the others.  
What to do ???

here is some advice on how to do it on a mac:

> [@Tag Panel Docking (on MAC)](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/tag-panel-docking-on-mac/18200):
>
> Hi, I am using mp3tag v2.78 on MAC. Mistakenly I docked out the Tag panel and now its showing as floating. I am trying to revert back to dock to left side. Trying by dragging the Tag panel to the left side of the application. But its not docking. refer the attached screen shot. Please help me Thanks in advance

Dragging it is the same kind of mouse gymnastics, though.
