Hi John,
the main idea is that the map you see immediately in QGIS, the one where
you pan around and zoom, is a map canvas that is not meant for
publication or printing but for exploration, editing and that sort of
thing. You could add a legend there but only through significant custom
efforts (as far as I am aware).
What you want to use instead is the Print Layout / Composer
functionality:
https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/print_composer/overview_composer.html
Enjoy!
Hannes
