How can I bring back my default datum planes when creating a new combination state?

I am new to combination states. When I create a new combination state, all of my default datum planes get hidden and I can not unhide them using layers or the model tree. But I need them because I want to move dimensions to those planes. Does somebody maybe know how to bring back the default datum planes when you just created a combination state? Thank you for looking into my question!

Add the datums to the combined view where you need to see them using supplemental geometry option.

A combination state in Creo is a configuration of an assembly that represents a specific arrangement or combination of components. It allows you to define and manage different configurations of your assembly, such as different part instances, positions, or variations like a spring or latch, cam.

It should be noted that the use of combination states is not restricted to assembly mode or assembly models in Creo Parametric. You can add annotations to state in part mode.
