Welcome to the forums. What phone do you have?

How do I get my buttons back ... I don't like what is happening now and that is closing out everything so that I have to start over again

It's not a phone ...it's a Galaxy tab a tablet. ...and I have only had it for about 1 year....

Welcome to Android Central! What's the exact model number in Settings>About Tablet? What version of Android is it running? Do you know if you have gesture navigation turned on?

Hi, welcome to AC!
Go to settings>display>navigation and should be able to choose between gesture and button.
