The icons for Pages, Documents and Pictures happily resided on my desktop until the moment I updated to MacOS Sierra. Now they are gone and I can't seem to get them back via Launchpad. What gives?
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2013), macOS Sierra (10.12.3)
Locate the apps within your Applications folder and then drag them to the desktop. This will make a shortcut.
Click Finder in the Dock, then in the menu bar click Go > Applications

I guess you means the "Documents" icon on the side bar of Finder window.
It can be configured at the "Side bar" tab in Finder's "Preferences..."
Other ways to open "Documents" folder (in handy) are —

# You can control the way to view the contents within the context menu ( right-clink or control-click ) on the icon too.
Thanks for your tips, which worked well for adding Pages and Photos to my desktop. However I couldn't do the same for Documents because that folder doesn't appear in Launchpad as an icon and it is also now missing from the left side list of Applications. To get to Documents I have to type a specific doc in Search, then all my docs magically appear. This revolting development came about soon after I installed MacOS Sierra. Coincidence? Should I go back to my beloved OS X El Capitan?
The first thing you should do is turn off iCloud Documents. System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck "Documents & Data"
Then create a pages document and save that document manually to the desktop. Pages should remember that save location and make it the default for the future.
For your other documents, search for one of the documents in Spotlight and Select "Show all in Finder" (located at the bottom of the list). Look for your file on the finder screen and it will show the designated folder your documents are in. From there you can drag them to your desktop if you would like.
