I can't find a document that I downloaded from email - and there is a large ? where the downloads used to be located. please advise
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3
The default location for downloads is the Downloads Folder.
"there is a large ? where the downloads used to be located"
Where are you seeing this? What do you mean by "where the downloads used to be"?

If you download from Mail.app— a dialog box opens, and ask you: where when you select...(?)
A ? anywhere— implies the original associated file can no longer be found. Drag it to the trash and try again.
If it is recent open the Time Machine local snapshots and restore it. If it is older document then go back in Time machine in restore it. About Time Machine local snapshots - Apple Support

or re-download from your Mail.
the large "?" is in the bottom right corner of the screen beside the Trash bin
If I hover the cursor over the "?", the word "Downloads" appears in a speech bubble - similarly, if I hover over the Trash bin, the speech bubble displays "Trash"
where can I find downloaded documents
