Flip functionality

I love the 3D flip feature. I've mapped it to my mouse center button and
it is very handy, but I have one question. Why, when I flip to the
desktop, is the side bar is gone. The only way I can access my sticky
notes is to minimize any open windows. Is there a setting I've missed?
TIA.

Simultaneously press the Windows key and D.

Or right click in the sidebar area, choose PROPERTIES, and tic the
"always on top" box.
