My sidebar has disappeared. Or rather, it is present but is solid grey. How do I get the selections to reappear in it?

Hi


First thing I'd suggest is to try restarting your mac. If that doesn't work, try restarting in safe mode.

Start up your Mac in safe mode – Apple Support (UK)


Safe mode will clear temporary files and caches, and sometimes fixes odd glitches such as this.



(It will take longer to start in safe mode than a normal start)
