I didn't lose anything. But the only documents folder is on the tray at the bottom, not in Finder. When I try to save something to my Documents, I can't because it's no longer in Finder. I have to save it to the Desktop then move it into the Documents folder. Double work! Not nice!

Choose Finder > Preferences from Finder's Menu Bar.

I just updated mine too, I have my Documents folders, nothing is missing. If you lost anything try TimeMachine to restore it.

I cannot imagine.

My Documents folder is just fine after my 11.5 update.
