No build/upload button

The build and upload button in the bottom blue bar has disappeared! What can i do?

The same thing happened to me. See image

I scratched around and found a reference to settings.json (Settings window | User | Extensions | PlatformIO IDE | Toolbar | Edit in settings.json).
The Settings window may be opened by clicking the Manage cog icon in bottom left hand corner (just below accounts) and then selecting the Settings sub menu (CTRL+, is the keyboard short cut).

{
    "window.autoDetectColorScheme": true,
    "[python]": {
        "editor.formatOnType": true
    },
    "cmake.configureOnOpen": false,
    "cSpell.userWords": [
        "CCMP",
        "prescaler"
    ],
    "cSpell.ignoreWords": [
        "VPORTA"
    ],
    "window.zoomLevel": -1,
    "workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
    "cmake.options.statusBarVisibility": "visible",
    "platformio-ide.toolbar": [

        {
            "text": "$(home)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Home",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.showHome"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(check)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Build",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.build"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(arrow-right)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Upload",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.upload"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(trashcan)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Clean",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.clean"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(beaker)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Test",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.test"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(plug)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: Serial Monitor",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.serialMonitor"
        },
        {
            "text": "$(terminal)",
            "tooltip": "PlatformIO: New Terminal",
            "commands": "platformio-ide.newTerminal"
        }
    ]
}

I changed line 15 to the following and did a File | Save All and my buttons magically reappeared.

"workbench.statusBar.visible": true,
