The control panel should be inserted automatically above, perhaps, the first viewPanel or view encountered. It is currently not created if not explicitly configured by the author.

Originally the control panel was to carry the export button, but I missed how collection-dependent this made the export button. There would need to be a control panel to carry a collection-dependent export button for each collection, or several export buttons in one control panel, which would be a confusing user experience. Since this is starting to look overly complicated, moving the export button back to a per-view place would be useful - though this should be handled in a way so that every view gets the widget (in non-hover show/hide mode) with a setting to completely hide the export button without explicitly having code in every view for it.
