In 2020 I have a capital loss; I was expecting a negative amount in the capital gains field, but it is 0. Does this seem right? Will the amount be available for future?

Thank you for choosing TurboTax,
As per CRA, If you have a capital loss in 2020, you can use it to reduce any capital gains you had in the year, to a balance of zero. If your capital losses are more than your capital gains, you may have a net capital loss for the year. You can use a net capital loss to reduce your taxable capital gains in any of the 3 preceding years or in any future year.
Therefore, the balance for capital gain field 0 is right. You cannot create a negative balance. You can use a net capital loss to reduce your taxable income in any future year.
Please visit the website on What happens if you have a capital loss? to learn more about capital loss.

But where does it show when we review the whole thing ? It's not clear and I would like to make sure that my 2020 capital loss is properly registered and will be added up to my cumulative Net Capital Losses from previous years...
