keep bookmarks col visible in Safari 15.1

With Monterey and Safari 15.1 how do you keep the bookmarks column from closing each time Safari closes. I would like it to be visible by default when launching Safari

FWIW, if you uncheck "Close windows when quitting an app" in System Preferences > General, if Bookmarks are open they will be open when restarting Safari.

After more analysis I concluded there is no way to keep the sidebar active after closing Safari. You need to open it again each time. Not sure why Apple did this.

Good catch but also keeps the page from closing out but this is better as I usually go back to my home page before closing out anyway. Thank you
