Default Missing button in Climate Control screen?

Newbie with a 22 e-tron premium plus. My climate control screen used to have a "Sync" button next to the "..." button. Now it is gone.
I did not recall doing anything to change it. Please see attached pictures. Is there is a way to get it back? Thanks.

Press the 3 dots and see if it's there. If so, you should be able to manually place it in the bar again. Or put a different button in there.

Yes. It is there. I assume you mean dragging the button to the bar. I will give it a try.

Yes. The two buttons, one on each side of the three dots, can be set as any two of the buttons on the sub-menu. On mine, I have "Off" and "Max AC" for mine.

I could not drag the button from the top MMI screen to the climate control screen, after i pushed the “…” button. Could you give me another hint?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Press the three dot menu first. It will show all the buttons you can pick from. Choose the button you want and hold it down for at least 3 seconds until you get the haptic feedback and a sort of menu box appears. The box will (If I remember correctly) have a a sort of obvious left side and right side. While you're still holding the button, drag it into the left box or the right box and release. This will place the button into the blank space to the left or right of the dots.

You can choose any two of the buttons from that menu to appear in the quick-access boxes on either side of the dots. For example, in summer one of the buttons is Max AC for me, but in winter I change it to the steering wheel heating button.

Thanks for the tips. I was able to change these two shortcut buttons. It just turns out that the button will disappear sometimes.

guess it's like the 2019 MY where the upper MMI favorites reset to factory default and/or the Air Ionizer/Fragrance mysteriously shuts off.

Same here. 2022 SQ7 and the sync button shows up some times, and some times not. It must be a programming thing. I'm going to mention it to the dealer at the next regular service interval and see what they say.

And just FYI if you didn't already know, but you can "pinch" and "unpinch" the climate screen for turning on/off the sync function.
