Mark up not working on MacBook Air

was using Monterey 12.6.2 and mark up tool was grayed out. Updated to 12.6.6, restarted and still the mark up is grayed out and now available. Went to extensions and checked, Mark up is checked. I unchecked mark up and then re checked and sit still is not working. It is grayed out and not available in preview at all.

Preview highlights disappear My highlights made in preview are disappearing. I constantly safe them and also restarted my mac in safe mode. I'm using Big Sur, which is tough the newest version I can install on my 2014 macbook. I had this problem also years ago… not sure why it is happening again. Super annoying, as hours of work (comments, highlights) are gone. Also not all - just some of them- disappear, it feels super random and it's so frustrating to start again. Any ideas?

Touch bar no longer shows typing suggestions Despite "typing suggestions" being checked on, at System Preferences> Keyboard> Text> Touch Bar typing suggestions, the touch bar does not show typing suggestions. I am using macOS 12.6 I have followed the instructions found at Customize the Touch Bar on Mac - Apple Support but nothing has changed. Neither the "Change Touch Bar settings" nor the "Change Control Strip buttons" sections have solved the problem.

Preview can't communicate with helper app I try to load any file into preview (PDF, PNG, JPG, etc.) and it gives an error. I'm dead in the water. Is there a way I can delete and reload that helper. Does anyone know what it is? Is there a source for that info. I've tried an recovery mode reinstallation of Ventura. I've run diskutility from recover mode. I've deleted any non current apps. I asked Etrecheck to see what it could find and followed it's suggestions. Aside from having a 16" MacBookPro M1 with cleaner apps and fewer files, I'm still stuck. Please help, if you can?

NOT available rather than now available after updating to 12.6.6.
