# Missing navigation pane

Missing panes in Remote Desktop Manager Team or Free Edition are restored by recreating the local configuration folder and reapplying saved configuration files.

Several panes are missing in Remote Desktop Manager and you seem unable to bring them back.

### Solution for Remote Desktop Manager Team Edition

1. Close Remote Desktop Manager.
2. In the ***File Explorer***, navigate to **%localappdata%\Devolutions**.
3. Copy the **RemoteDesktopManager** folder on your desktop.
4. Delete the **RemoteDesktopManager** folder in **%localappdata%\Devolutions**.
5. Restart Remote Desktop Manager.

This will create a new **RemoteDesktopManager** folder in **%localappdata%\Devolutions**. When everything is back to normal:

1. Close Remote Desktop Manager.
2. Copy the files below from the **RemoteDesktopManager** folder on your desktop into **%localappdata%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager**:

**RemoteDesktopManager.cfg** **RemoteDesktopManager.enc** **RemoteDesktopManager.stv** **RemoteDesktopManager.ext** **Connections.db**

This action will restore your configuration and your local workspace.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/troubleshooting-articles/missing-navigation-pane.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
