Quick answer
The thumbnail pane may be collapsed or narrowed rather than missing. Return to Normal view and inspect the left edge of the editing window.
Understand the issue
Do not rebuild slides because the navigation pane is hidden. Use the visible slide count and current slide content to confirm the presentation still contains your work. The desktop and web versions can offer different pane controls.
Step-by-step checks
- Switch to Normal view.
- Look for the collapsed thumbnail bar or narrow pane divider.
- Expand the pane and select a few slides to confirm navigation.
