I am trying to start an assigment and my home page for JMP student edition looks a lot different than what I need. I will attach photos. I can't figure out why it looks so different. Please help.
You only attached one picture so we cannot compare what it looks/should look like. Picture has JMP19 with dark theme and (temporary) filtered view enabled
Here is an image of what the taskbar should look like according to my assignment.
You have to have a report open for the Selection tool to be visible as the toolbars are dynamic (by default).
My toolbars in a data table
in a report window
You can control which toolbars are visible in specific window from View > Toolbars (Tools is the one you are looking for)
