Pycharm - How do I access the "Watches" pane?

Question

I'm somewhat new to Pycharm, and I suppose this should be an easy question, but I'm not finding the answer anywhere...

The Pycharm documentation has instructions for adding/editing items in the Watches pane, but the documentation assumes the Watches pane is already open, so it skips the step on how to open/access it. Does anyone know where I can find / how I can open the Watches pane?

In the Debug pane, on the left side, 7th from the top, there is a "Restore Layout" button that unhides the Watches panel.

I bet you got this reply from me after contacting JetBrains support =) There was also [this screenshot](http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2465/20121116195956.png) included. – CrazyCoder Nov 16 '12 at 17:41
It's probably in the documentation too, but it's always good to have the answer duplicated online. – mbatchkarov Nov 16 '12 at 18:05

To have the Watches pane displayed separately and view the configured watches in it, release the Show watches in the Variables tab toggle button (eyeglasses button) on the toolbar of the Variables pane. By default, the button is pressed.

Hi, adding screenshots would be great to help point out the location of the button :) – reidzeibel Apr 08 '20 at 08:44
