Check out the folder that you are in as well. Make sure you aren’t in a folder from Gmail or something like that. Those 3rd party areas to store notes don’t support markup and if you’re in one of those, you won’t see the markup. Make sure you’re in the folder for iCloud or “On my iPad”

Hello,
This is very strange! Have you tried restarting your iPad?
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Try updating to iPadOS 13.5.1 to see if it resolves your problem.
Settings > General > Software Update
Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud and under the subheading Apps Using iCloud, toggle on Notes if off. Check the Notes app. If Markup is still missing go to the Folders list in Notes and see if there is an upgrade button to the right of iCloud. If you've updated to the latest iPadOS, this shouldn't be necessary, but it's worth checking. If the button exists, tap and proceed from there. If not, with Notes set up on iCloud, and with a device backup, delete the Notes app and download it from the App Store.

Correct. This is what I see:
I suggest that you reset your iPad - but first, as a precaution, ensure that you have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your device.
When you’re ready to proceed with the reset:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
This reset will not delete any locally stored data.
If the initial reset of settings doesn’t resolve the problem, move on to a full reset of the iPad:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
This reset will erase all locally stored data - however, you can optionally restore your data from your iCloud/iTunes backup at the end of the reset procedure.
Hello,
I would like to confirm that you do not see this button?
I believe I have but will try when I get home
I did a shutdown and restart but no change to my Notes screen. Any ideas?
Upgraded to 13.5.1 with no change to the notes screen.
Thanks for the great suggestions. I am away from my iPad right now but will try these tonight and report on the results.
Hello All
ZintainUSA solved my problem. I had notes turned off in iCloud. When I turned it on I was able to go to the iCloud folder and access the markup tool bar. Really appreciate the help.
