SOLVED: Missing Report Builder button
In the Reporting module in the Smartsheet e-Academy, it indicates there should be a Report Builder button in a report to enable one to modify the report. In my instance I do not see such a button. Is this a known issue?
I've attached screenshots of what it's supposed to look like, and what it actually looks like. I could swear I've seen the Report Builder button before, as I've actually created a report, and recall using it.
Also the Help page confirms the button should be there:

Hi Bill,
It's still there but the design has changed a little bit so now it's just the notebook and not any text.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

Oh, my eyes must be tired ... I thought I checked all the icons. Label-less icons seem to be in vogue these days.
Thanks for the quick response!

This is going to date me, but that looks a lot like the floppy disk icon that Smartsheet still uses for the "Save." I saw this notebook icon but thought it was the save icon. (I wonder how many Smartsheet users have actually handled a floppy disk!)
I think an icon relating to the "builder" part (maybe some kind of tool) instead of the "report" part would be better. Better yet, just use the universally understood gear icon to indicate this is how to modify the settings of the report. You may even want to put it over on the right sidebar, which is a little sparsely populated.

Haha! Now that you mention it, it does a little bit.
