Widgets not displaying in theme customizer

Widgets DO appear in the Customizer, but only if you are on the page that they are used on.

For example, I have a sidebar for the Archive page. When I’m in the Customizer and on the homepage, that sidebar doesn’t appear. But if I navigate to an archive page while in the Customizer, it then appears in the widget area.
