How to set a mini panel to display node fields? I want to load node fields into a mini panel, but when I do what I think that I need to do, the mini panel (= MP) is invisible (because the fields aren't displayed, I guess).

So far I have:  


Added a Content Type  
Added fields to that Content Type  
Created a Minipanel with Required Context = Node  
Added my various Node Fields to that MP: Add Content > Node > Field: ___  
Moved the MP into my Content range in the Blocks Editor


I don't see my MP anywhere. This user seems to have a similar issue, and solved it with the Context settings but doesn't answer the question at all, just closed it.  Other people seem to have this issue as well:


Can't get a mini panel containing node form fields into a panel page
Node fields and node tokens not showing up in a mini-panel


Can anyone clarify for me how to make my MPs show up with information populated from the node?
As per Beebee comment, you should first try removing the "Node" required context and see if that renders the block. Make it work at the most basic level possible and then add various customisations and contexts.
