I have a maybe stupid question:
Octane was allways at the Render section in the menu: Render> Render, Render Settings, Render editor, Octane Main, Octane View. and Octane auto materials
I have tried out out some of the DS workpsaces and now its gone. I hope you understand what I mean.
How can I get it back there?
Greetings Angela
Short version:
Based on my quick experiments there is a low probability glitch that entries of the main menu that should be added to any workspace are omitted.
Just select another layout and then switch back to the one you want and then the error should automatically be resolved and all main menu entries should show up again.

Longer version:
As far as I understand it OctaneRender menu entries should be added automatically to
Main menu
Render
-> The best way to check is to open the "Customize DAZ Studio Menu" by hitting
F3
On the left side you can see all the available "Actions".
On the right side left of "Activities" there is a sub tab for "Menus".
The first entry should be called "Main Menu" then there is a sub directory for "&Render"
There you should be able to see the entries:
&OctaneRender Main
&OctaneRender Viewport
&OctaneRender Materials
Update/Edit:
After further testing I am not sure what effect the & symbol in front of the name has.
Removed speculation to stick with the observable behaviour.In this example the entries show up properly:

I quickly tested all available layout presets and each of them worked eventually.
Nevertheless I did notice that at least once the
Main Menu entries were not added on first try.

Random DAZ Studio UI glitch Tested with:
Daz Studio Pro BETA - version 4.9.3.25
OctaneRender for DAZ Studio 3.2.0.23 (64 bit)
I suspect that this glitch happens with the DAZ Studio Menu entries in general and is not caused by OcDS.- - -
Before I now start a long explanation how you can create your own custom "Menus" with your preferred "Actions" I suggest to
-> first try to apply a different workspace layout and then reapply the layout you actually want.Repeat until the Main Menu entries show up as expectedUpdate/Edit:
If that does not work it might be needed to reinstall the OcDS plugin so the menu and toolbar entries are added to the currently available layouts again.

In general:
Make sure that you save you custom layout before you try out any other layout presets.

Alternatively:
You can find a custom layout for DAZ Studio that should work with all OcDS menu entries here:
