My "Intercept" page's "Pretty" tab is not accessible on Community version

Why is the "Pretty" layout version of the display on Intercepted http requests greyed out on my Community version of Burp? I can only view the "Raw" and "Hex" versions and so I have been unable to locate three variables I need to manipulate before "forwarding" the request for a test.

Hi Pretty view is only available when there is data available to prettify. For example, JSON data in your request or HTML data in your response. Have you tried using the Inspector tab to locate your variables to manipulate quickly?

Thanks for your timely response! I was able to figure out what I was missing. After intercepting the request, I needed to use the "Action" button, and then its "Do Intercept" > "Response to this request" options and then I could see the response and its variables in the "Pretty" display. I then was able to manipulate the values and forward and confirmed where our issue is. Thanks for helping point me in the right direction! Feel free to close this issue.
