Finder won't allow folders to be added to sidebar.

How can I get my folders back into my sidebar? It no longer shows Desktop, Downloads or any folders I use regularly. I only see iCloud Drive, Shared, Peg's iMac and my external Hard Drives.


Dragging folder into sidebar doesn't work.


Selecting the folder and then adding it to favorites from Finder File menu is not an option given.


Monterey 12.2.1


iMac 24″, macOS 12.2
