In the compositor, there is the properties panel which allows us to change properties of the nodes added. It is usually retracted and indicated by a small triangle on the top right, as indicated on the image below. But it seems to be missing in this particular blend file ( I work with many blend files and this is the first case ive encountered)

How do I enable the panel? The blender version I use is 2.9enter image description here

Bonus: You can shuffle tabs around with Reorder to Front to get them back to where they were:

    $\begingroup$ @JachymMichal It's the Xsi one :D Dark themes are sometimes too dark, especially when having to flip back to emails and other primarily-white programs... $\endgroup$
