Menu toolbar I'm suddenly not able to view the toolbar (normally on left side) in my Photos app on my Mac. I can only view it if I go into full screen mode. I don't see anything in the menu on top that would resolve that. Suggestions?

iMac macOS 11.6.2. Photos App Show/Hide Sidebar gone? I did some changes in System Prefs Accesibility/Display, Increase Contrast, Reduce Transparency and Options to Show items in the Menu Bar. Now, Sidebar in Photos App is always there; and, the little icon in the menu bar to show/hide sidebar is gone. Keyboard shortcuts no longer has "⌘ ⌥ - S” for show/hide sidebar listed. Did I do something to have it disappear, or has it been this way for some time; and, I am now just noticing. I feel sure I use this all the time when I want to quickly scan through photos, so I hide the Sidebar for more space and to view ONLY photos. I pray someone has the anwer to what happened to this option in Photos App on my 2020 iMac 27” Big Sur macOS, Photos v 6.0? Attached what the Menu Bar icon looks like in other Apps, and what I am now seeing in Photos. I can only click the similar icon to eliminate the space between photos.

I can't make it go away.

Are you using one of the Year or Month ordering views? Those make some of the buttons go away, but the toolbar is still there.

Some of the other things, like Memories, will eliminated most of the buttons, but the toolbar is still there.

Are you in Full Screen mode? There is a setting in the View menu to have it show while in Full Screen.
