Section folding not present
Show older comments
Using R2024B, i got the option to use the live editor and some things changed without asking.
Most importantly, the + buttons to fold a section have dissappeared, while in preferences/editor/code folding the option sections is ON.
Another change is that the titles of the scripts are in an additional column.
FInally, beneath the folder section, there is a new window with the 'script' , i.e. a shortcut to jump to a section.
How can I get the section folding again?
Cheers, Paul

as mentioned in prior comment, code folding and section folding is not yet supported in the Live Editor however starting from R2025a, you can use a side panel called "Outline" which gives you ability to navigate quickly to your desired section in your live script.

Paul, if I undrestand correctly, you mean that you opened a .m file and it got openned in the live editor instead of the traditional editor and hence some features were missing? if my assumption is correct, perhaps you are using a .m plain text based live script? (for more info take a look here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/plain-text-file-format-for-live-scripts.html)
These files are live scripts and would open in live editor.
