Using AutoCAD Architecture 2022, I could hover over an object and see extended data. I cannot see it in Autocad Architecture 2026. I can see it using Properties - Extended Data tab in both versions. Could someone tell me what needs to be done in 2026 to make the Extended Data visible while hovering over an object. In the pictures, the obect being hovered over was insert from Detail Component Manager. Thank yall for any help!!
No Extended Data while hovering over inserted object
It works for me. OOTB 2026. What workspace do you have active? I have the ootb Architecture active.

It works for me, as well, in ACA 2026. Make certain that your current AutoCAD profile is an AutoCAD Architecture profile (or based on one), and not the "as AutoCAD" profile (named AutoCAD), which would give you the results you are getting in 2026.
Have you inserted components using 2026 and have you tried to add similar using 2026?
Also, confirm options tab AEC Content for 2026 vs 2022. Some companies move the database to a location on a server.

I did get the extended data to appear. I did change profiles until the extended data appeared, bad thing is, my customised menu and other things changed. Thanks for yalls help!!
Out Of The Box, as @pendean mentioned. You must have customized a menu that was not from an ACA profile. Start with an ACA profile and using the CUI, you can transfer your customizations to the new menu. Better yet, add your customizations to a new menu to make it your own. Then use the MENULOAD command to load it as a partial menu. That way your customizations will remain separate from OOTB menus and won't overwrite your customizations when you upgrade AutoCAD.
