Missing sidebar in Apple Notes quick notes

I have notes as part of a corner of my desktop. I hover over the bottom right and then launch a new note. ITs quite useful. The issue I am having with notes is if I want to look at a different note or manage the new note into a folder the sidebar is gone. Currently the sidebar is the only way to manage all the Notes which seems odd that you cant open it and there is no visual or obvious way to reopen the the sidebar or side tray. If you open a new note when in the app after launching a quick note the new notes dont have the sidebar so you are stuck in this sidebar less space even when the app is open. Feels like an oversight on this app. The only way I have found to open it is to close all the quick notes then relaunch the app.

My question is since I dont see the tray (sidebar) on a quick note how do I open it?

Original Title: Apple Notes

Using macOS 26.1 Tahoe

Performed the same actions as you have mentioned visa vie Quick Notes

This is what I get as per illustration below

There appears to be No User Enabling Feature in Quick Notes to bring out the Sidebar
