Missing layout,system and template items under sitecore node

Question

As you can see in two images ! I'm missing layout,system and template. when I open it with sitecore rocks it says "Modified- must be serialized." I'm wondering if anyone had this issue before and how you fixed it.

Answer 1

I think you have the same problem i had at some point in a new installation:

1. Go to the View tab in the Content Editor
2. If the Option Hidden Items is not checked, check it

This should work now. These root items are marked as hidden.
