In order to reset my outlook view, I need to click on the compact view tab. However, the compact view tab is missing. How can I replace or reset outlook so that I can access the compact view tab again?

    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this. If the View tab is missing from the Ribbon, please right-click any existing tab and select Customize the Ribbon. In the right column, you should see the available tabs that can be enabled. Look for View, check the box next to it, and then select OK.

    If this does not work, please share a screenshot of how the software looks so I can better understand the situation and help you further.
