This can be fixed by first closing your project. Remember that closing the software does not close your project. In order to fully close your project, you need to right click on the top level of your Project Manager and select Close Project.

Substitution Palettes
This file will be recreated when the project is re-opened and you should see symbols in your substitute component list again.
