The new version of Reader 2023.001.20174. I use this primarily for commenting of student scripts, perhaps 50/day. However.
1. Image ..417 shows that 3 clicks I have to do everytime I open a file.
Please enable me to set up Reader so it always opens in comment mode.

1. When I do the 3 clickc, the left All Tools pane collapses into vertical bar which covers part of the document. Image ..209. Covering the document pane should not happen at any point.

So I cannot use this version and have reverted to the more cluttered previous version
