I presume that you refer to the Safari Sidebar?
First, if running iPadOS15, ensure that you have updated to the most recent version - iPadOS 15.1. This version includes significant improvements in management of the new Safari Sidebar.
The Sidebar is now closed with the Sidebar button at top-left of the screen:
Note: Unless you have updated to iPadOS 15.1, for this button to be visible while Bookmarks/Reading List/History is displayed in the sidebar, you must first tap the “Back” and “Safari” buttons that appear in this location.
The iPad User Guide is a rich source of frequently overlooked information. Having updated to iPadOS15, this resource may be worthwhile to review in order to better understand many of the changes that have occurred with transition from iPadOS14 to iPadOS15. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
