Missing File View/Panel in Obsidian interface, MacOS Sonoma

[cpgs]

I just received a new M4 running Sonoma.
I installed Obsidian.
I don’t recall if the File View Panel was visible in the beginning, but it is no longer visible at all.
Vault location is under //username/Documents/_docs/...

Things I have tried

Reboots, restarts, wiping the Obsidian profiles folder, and reinstalling the program do not fix the issue.
References to the File View/Panel is not found in the shortcuts, ribbons, and available icons.
Opening the Command Line interface, there is no mention of a File Viewer.

Attached an image.

1. Check in Settings > Core Plugins that Files is enabled
2. Run the command (cmd + p) → Files: Show file explorer
   
   

The Files tab should appear next to the Search and Bookmarks tabs in the left sidebar.

NO idea how that was turned off, but it’s back on again and I am back to work.
Thank you so, so much!
