Editing masked parts of a picture and only them in Lightroom Classic version 14.3.1

How can I edit masked parts of a picture and only them in Lightroom Classic version 14.3.1? Whenever I try with the tonecurve, since the basic sliders are gone it affects the entire picture.

There is a basic panel for masking, but it is called "Tone". Perhaps it has been (accidentally) closed. Click on the triangle next to Tone.

You need to select the mask in the mask panel, and then use the tools in the mask panel. Check that this panel is not collapsed, so you are using the main panel sliders and curves, without realising that.

OK, but the problem is that there is no slider for for example exposure, black, white, highlights and shadows in the masking section.
