Can you release a hot fix so I can I can see the 'edit assembly' menu?? There's a problem with it disappearing in the 2020 release!

Hi @Anonymous 

I would recommend creating a support case through your Autodesk Account, so you can provide a diagnostic data for the  product support for review.  With the files and data your provide we should be able to investigate further. 

Meanwhile, please try a repair of Revit and see if it helps resolve your issue.

I found the issue, the edit assembly floating doc must've been opening up of my screen. Possibly a different screen res issue? I don't see why this shouldn't be docked by default, may save others having problems.

@Anonymous  From what you are saying it sounds like you have multiple monitors, may be 4K, 5K? 

Its best to create a new post or support case and we can have a dedicated specialist to look at your case with  more details.
