Hello? I have an issue with app designer.
There should be a "component library" and "component browser" at app-designer's both sides, but I can't find them at all.
I went to MATLAB setting to restore default layout for app designer, and I wasn't able to find such option. I also re-installed MATLAB, but to no avail.

Added) I also used command called clearPersonalValue to clear user defined settings for app designer[1][2], but it didn't worked out.
I appreciate you for your kind attention to this issue and if possible, would you help me, please..?

I would try the dropdown menu in the top right of your window. Select Restore

You need to minimize the component library or the component browser in order for Restore to appear as an option in this menu.

Another workaround fo this issue is deleting AppDesignerMainPanelLayout.json file under MATLAB predir folder and restart MATLAB.
