Your advice sort of worked, in that it did offer me a huge array of tools to add:

I thought Navigator looked liked a good option, but that seemed to be just a small version of my current image. I've got Keywords, Keyword Library, Metadata and Filters, but none of them seem to include the bits I want. An old manual I have suggests I'm missing Catalog Collections, User Collections and Folders, none of which seem to be on offer!
More exploring, looks like Library was what I needed. I ignored that because I was already in the Library tab. Phew, got those missing parts back, in the wrong order but I'm pretty sure I can fix that..
Along the way I explored the Filter menu for the first time in a very long time. I suspect it makes easy some things I've been doing in a complicated way. More investigation to come.
I did look at the Windows menu, but I'm not really sure what a workspace is, and I couldn't see anything to select. (Actually I tried create floating tool, which brought up all the options above, tried Library, found my missing bits, dragged them into the Library tab and voila!)
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Glad you got it sorted.
You can change the order by simply dragging the tool up and down the tools panel.
And yes, the library tool is just one of the tools that comes under the library tool tab.
Although, you can add a floating tool to the tool tab, C1 continues to think it’s a floating tool, on my version it has a blue chevron to show it’s a floating tool, so I always add tools via the right click on the tool panel. I don't think there is an issue with having a docked floating tool bar, but it upsets my sense of order. I also have some tools permanently floating e.g the layers tool.
The Workspace is everything you are looking at on the screen: the tools the windows, the menus, the tool tabs, and the tools contained in the tool tabs.
C1 comes with several default workspaces, which should be visible in that right click menu, so I'm not sure why you didn't find any. You should have some workspaces for using dual monitors and one designed specifically for culling and rating, which only has tools related to this task.
Every aspect (except the contents of menus) of the C1 interface is customisable. tool bar, tool tabs, contents of tool bar, and windows layout.
You can, for example add a new tool tab, and have multiple instances of the same tool such as the curves tool, but with one tool defaulting to the RGB curve, a second to the luma curve, at third to the red curve, fourth to the green and fifth to the blue. It means you can look at and adjust all five curves at the same time, rather than flicking between tabs.
Once you have things set up a workspace, you can then save it for reuse. There is no limit to the number of workspaces you can create.
I often use the tools in an ad hoc manner, so if I find I am switching between tool tabs a lot, I will just add the necessary tool to my most active tool tab for the day. Or leave it floating.
Every so often I reset my workspace to my personalised default workspace, and it tidies away all my ad hoc changes.
