Sidebar & toolbar not accessible

Hey everyone


on Finder app I do not have the possible to show the sidebar neither the toolbar ( apparently they are linked if I understood correctly what I read... but not sure to get the reason why they are linked), they are both greyed out.

Couple of days ago I was able to show or to hide them.

I surely did something wrong but what....


Thx for the help

So after reboot the sidebar appears, the toolbar as well but the hide option of the toolbar is not accessible this time...
and the touch combination "option + command + T" has not effect.

[Edit] my previous comment is true only on full page. If I am not on full page mode, the hide toolbar option is accessible. and the touch combination active.
is it normal mode??


Normal, yes.
