Hide Topics and Recently Saved rows in Safari sidebar

Recently Saved is turned off from the menu bar, not from Safari Settings. Open Safari, click View, and choose Hide Recently Saved. That takes the big cards out of the sidebar. Topics is the other new section. Open the View menu again and see if Hide Topics is there, and choose it if it is. If it isn't listed, Control-click the Topics heading in the sidebar and hide it from that menu. If Bookmarks is still showing large previews, click Bookmarks in the sidebar, click the More button on that header, and choose Compact.

Thank you for the response, but except for the Compact view (which I had already done), none of these instructions are correct for my Safari browser. Right-click on Topics or Recently Saved does nothing. There are no View menu options for Hiding either of them as well.
