The "Duplicates" will appear again in the sidebar, once Photos has found additional duplicates. This is fully automatic.

Give Photos plenty of time to scan your Photos Library, when you are not using Photos. if your Photos Library is on an external drive, keep the drive plugged in, whenever you are logged into your user account, even if you are currently not using Photos, or Photos may lose the connection to your system photos library. For me it took two weeks for the Duplicates album to come back after the last system update.
