Describe the Bug

Unsure if this is my own permissions at fault, but couldn't see anything that could've caused this on my install.

The new watch feature is great addition, however when I select 'Watch' on either a Chapter or a Page, it then disappears from the toolbar on the side. The user preferences > notification preferences mentions "To update your preferences for these, view the item then find the watch options in the sidebar." but I cannot see this after the initial 'watch'.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Select 'Watch' on a chapter/page.
  2. 'Watch' immediately disappears and is no longer visible for that chapter/page

Expected Behaviour

I would expect to see the unwatch action appear.

Screenshots or Additional Context
