When I Insert Expressions, I only get 1 tab and my friends get 3 tabs. Why?

The difference is the setting for Tools: Options, Editor, Smart Properties Insert.

When enabled, the Visibility properties for new items are automatically configured with default settings. The Placement properties are set by finding a similar item elsewhere in the staff, and then using it as a basis for positioning the new item. If a similar item is not found, the program decides on the placement properties based on reasonable defaults.

When disabled, all available properties for new items must be set manually. The properties are initially set to whatever was used the last time this type item was added. Here you would get the 3 tabs so you can access all the settings. The 3 tabs are the item to insert, Placement and Visibility.
