Unable to view my photo library after creating a shared folder

I've created a shared folder with no pictures in it, and now cannot see my photo library - only the activity page related to the folder. How do I view my photos again?

You may need to enlarge the Photos Window to show the sidebar. Drag the corners of the window to resize it.

If ou are in full screen mode you may need to go the View menu and enable "Always Show Sidebar and menu Bar in Full Screen Mode".

What version of Photos are you running? If it's an earlier version and the sidebar is not showing go to the Menu bar and find the option to show the sidebar. Once it's shown you can click on any of the items in the side bar to view your photos


If you're running a larger version of Photos, 3 or 4, and the sidebar is not showing increase the size of the window and the sidebar should present itself.
