using mask facility in Lightroom I have made adjustments to an image using one layer. I can see the changes on screen but when I click on edits to make global I lose the mask changes. I am obviously missing a step. Can some tell what the steps are.

Can you be more specific about the exact steps in your workflow?

Are you actually changing the Adjustment sliders for the Tool that is active with the mask?

Do you then [Close] the Masking panel to make 'Global' edits to the image?

"One Layer"- Do you mean 'one Tool Mask'?

"...click on edits to make global.." - Do you mean to return to 'regular' Edits?

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

I have just used my ipad to make mask using brush. On the ipad there is a done button which I click before moving onto the global edits so the changes made using mask are still visible when I make global edits. There is no done button on my mac lightroom panel so how do I get to the same point on my mac.

I cannot see the edit when I go back to global edits

Did you make an edit, or just create a mask? Try it again with a really drastic edit that is easy to see. It should still be there when you switch back to global edits.
