Have you restarted RStudio? If you open up your .Rproj file with a plain text editor without restarting, you'll probably see this:

Version: 1.0

RestoreWorkspace: Default
SaveWorkspace: Default
AlwaysSaveHistory: Default

EnableCodeIndexing: Yes
UseSpacesForTab: Yes
NumSpacesForTab: 2
Encoding: UTF-8

RnwWeave: Sweave
LaTeX: XeLaTeX

AutoAppendNewline: Yes

After restarting, and ensuring that this line appears in your index.Rmd file YAML:

site: bookdown::bookdown_site

You can reopen the .Rproj file in a text editor and see the below, which activates the build pane.
