Posted on by Community Power Pla...

For the last 2-3 days, the File Menu Bar disappeared while at Make.PowerApps.com. Wirdly enough it disappeared only for new Apps, while if I open older ones it's still there. Would be thankfull if someone could enlighten me on how to get it back.

This is how it looks like now:

Without Menu

This is how it used to look and what I'd like back:

With Menu Bar

Thank you very much for your help

You may be confusing the new Modern Command Bar to be "no menu bar", but it is! It is the new Modern Command Bar!!

Please Accept as Solution if it solves your question. Or just give it a Thumbs Up if it is helpful because this can help others.

What is unclear to me is why it still shows on Apps I already developed. Is there a way to display the "Old" Menu Bar? As I honestly find the new one way way way worse

From within the app, select Settings, and then refer the sections Preview, Experimental, or Retired features using the available tabs.

If there is no on/off there then it is permanently changed.

Thank you very much. What makes the classic Menu Bar disappear is a Preview Feature which is now probably activated as a standard, by deactivating it the old menu bar is again available.

Hi there,

I also faced the same problem and found out the solution below.
1. Click the setting menu (cogwheel on left bottom of the screen), then "Settings" pops up.
2. Go to "Upcoming features", then check the "Preview" tab.
3. Go down to "Enable legacy ribbon", and switch it to "ON".

Then, you can see the ribbon menu right away.

glad I found the answer, but the real question is why on earth would anybody think retiring it was a good idea. 🤔

This is a solution. Currently under the Retired Tab.

Thanks but "retired" suggests it will disappear entirely at some point. I'm not sure this really a solution. A temporary stay of execution for a useful feature at best.

Agreed. I find that a retired menu option that is still useful has generally been moved to another location. For example collections can be found under Variables now.
