Kicad can’t read .kicad_sym files

I downloaded KiCad 8 from having 7, after doing so
I opened a previous project and it was converted. But now, when I go to edit symbols, the library I use, import symbol, I cannot see any of my symbols. It is the same with footprints. The supported formats do not include any .kicad_sym files. If I download symbol/footorints from digikey but instead of selecting kicad 6+ download format, if I choose altium, this method of selecting symbols and foot print works. I’m not sure what changed here
