No longer able to disable New Designer

Are they now forcing users to use the New Designer for Power Automate? 

 

I can not begin to express how much of a disaster this is. The thing makes no sense at all. It's cumbersome and time consuming. It, like so many other Microsoft "improvements", does nothing but add complexity and prevent you from getting work done.  

 

Rant aside, the slider to disable New Designer is no longer working for me. Is this the case across the platform or isolated for me? 

 

Edit: changing &v3=true to &v3=false in the URL still works (for now?).  

 

Also, the hack to add a comment to the trigger no longer works because you evidently can no longer add a comment to the trigger.  Apparently if you save the new flow first, you can still add a comment before reloading the page.

    Maybe try incognito mode or other browser. I can toggle the designer mode just fine.

    Not only is it a terrible new UI, it didn't work and broke flows when I tried it. Maybe it's fixed now Â¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

    I'm a Microsoft fan, but I do wish they're test things and not rush them out so haphazardly.

     

    Anyway, the v3=false worked for me, so thanks!

    Thank you for the workaround! Changing to ?v3=false worked for me too.

    It is still available for me. You may want to try clearing your browser cache to see if the toggle returns. I hope Microsoft is not pushing out an update to remove the ability to use the old designer. I agree with your comments about the new one. Until Microsoft makes some significant improvements to the "new" designer, the ability to use the old one needs to remain.
