I had widgets at the right side of my screen: foreign exchange, calculator, etc. After upgrading to Big Sur they're gone. Why does an upgrade mean figuring out all over again how to get these into widgets? The same thing happened last year.

Hey Pal,
Dont Panic Same issues even I had. To resolve this. Just go to edit widgets, there also it would be missing. but type for eg. Calendar.. it will display your widgets like normal. Add your widgets this way.

Use widgets in Notification Center - Apple Support

My widgets are also gone and none of the suggestions have resolved it in my case. When I invoke the widget panel by selecting the time I get my notifications but now widgets. When I select Edit Widgets I get this blank screen and searching does not bring anything up, nor can I resize the window (goes full screen).
Yes, but the point of "widgets" (as opposed to applications) is that you're meant to be able to get the information you need by a simple swipe & glance. Having them "pop out" and then needing to close them defeats the entire purpose of "widgets."
Yes, I get it work, but eventually the widget disappears.
1- Click the time, right side of menu bar.
2- Click the "Edit Widgets" button at the bottom of the slide-in panel.
3- On next screen, in "Search" at upper left, type the name of a widget.
4- When widget is revealed, if optional attributes are available below it, make a selection: S (small), M (medium), or L (large).
5- Hover over widget. You should see a green "+" in widget's upper left corner.
6- Click the widget. It will move to the right side of the screen.
7- Be sure to click the "Done" button beneath the widget.
Those are the steps I follow, and it works— until, of course, it doesn't. At some point later in the day, or next, the widget disappears. I then have to repeat the 7 steps outlined above. Don't know why this happens. Really, all I'm looking for is a quick, reliable way to glance at the weather, either via a widget or in the menu bar.
Each major revision of the operating system introduces change, and the widgets are not immune from those revisions or exclusions. You can send feedback directly to the macOS product team.
Did anyone resolve this issue? I'm having the same issue as @mojofat
Yes, some widgets have been removed and some have had changes.
Click on the time in the menu bar and they will pop out.
Did you figure this out?
Widgets are missing after Big Sur upgrade
