My sketch tool from markup disappeared in my touch bar.

How do you add back the features for sketch from markup to Touch Bar? The Touch Bar used to have more features(like dotted-lines, adding arrows) for the sketch up tool, but know I can only change the size of the line I draw.


MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

cliora,


Thanks for getting back in touch with us after reviewing those support articles, and for those additional details.


While some apps allow you to customize the Touch Bar, some don't. With that said, you might test the issue further by logging into a new user account to see if you're able to customize the Touch Bar in Preview there:

If it works in a new user account, try booting into safe mode in to your admin account to isolate incompatible items. Here's how:
