With last Monterrey 12.7.6 update my local Documents file disappeared. Gone. It and all files were still on iCloud, but nowhere locally. I didn't reconfigure anything. How do I get my Documents file to reside locally on my MacBook Air as well?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7

During the update, sometimes things get Turned On
Like >> Documents and Desktop
Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive
Turn on Desktop and Documents
Turn on Desktop and Documents on every Mac that you want to use with iCloud Drive.
If you want to store your files in iCloud Drive and another cloud storage service, you can keep copies of your files in both, but you can't keep folders from a third-party cloud service in iCloud Drive. You can keep your other cloud service folders in a different place on your Mac, like the home folder.
My screen does not have the information to complete step 4 and 5 . "Sync this Mac" or "Turn on Desktop & Documents Folders".
What I'm simply trying to do is have my Documents folder complete and on my MacBookAir Hard Drive as well as residing in my iCloud account. For 7 years I've used this laptop that way and with latest Monterrey update it went away.
Why did my Documents file disappear from my MacBook Air local drive with last apple update?
