How do I make points, lines and bones visible?

[7cassandra]

I'm working on the beginner tutorials. When I use "Add Points" and "Add Bones," the points, lines and bones are invisible. In the tutorial the points have lines between them but when I draw them I briefly see the green dot but no permanent line remains to show my work. When I create bones, they show up on the bones list and I can manipulate them, but they are completely invisible even as I draw them. How can I fix it so I can see the points, lines and bones?

There's a show curves checkbox at the bottom right of the workspace, and a similar setting called Paths in the layer quick settings (context menu).
