Every time I create a shapefile in QGIS 3, when I reopen QGIS, I find the file in the Layers panel, but it does not appear on the canvas. I don't change anything in the file properties it is the same path.

    Can you add some information? What is the coordinate reference system of your QGIS project? What is the coordinate reference system of your shapefile? What transformation are you using if these two coordinate reference systems differ? Commented yesterday
  • Did you add feature to your shapefile after creating it , if yes did you save them ? Commented yesterday

    Adding to the previous commens: depending on how you create your layer (e.g., by using a geo-tool such as buffer, join by field value, etc. ...), the resulting layer is only a temporary layer. This means, that the data is erased, when you close a project (even if you save the project), even though the layer remains in the layer tree. Temporary layers have to be exported first to make them permanent. Commented 20 hours ago
