Big Sur doesn’t display folders in my Finder sidebar!

In Finder preferences I have the same old list of folder “shortcuts” as before. They no longer appear. Further, I can’t drag a folder icon into the Finder sidebar to create a new shortcut. What happened?

In Big Sur, I can drag a folder from the Finder Window to the Favorites side bar and it remains there, until I drag it out of the Finder Favorites lists again. If you have no Favorites showing, click the word "Favorites" in the Finder Window side panel to reveal them.
