When I try to switch from the new designer to the classic designer (and vice-versa) it doesn't seem to be working anymore. I click on the option and it just doesn't do anything (doesn't switch). Is this a global change, or just something happening locally to me? Note that I've tried across a couple of different M365 tenants, different Power Platform environments, etc. and doesn't seem to work anywhere.

Hello @grantjenkins

Switching still works for me and hopefully does until all the bugs are fixed. What happens if you manually add “v3=false” as parameter? (? or & before if there is already a parameter there or not)

Thanks @Matthy79 - adding &v3=false switches is back which is great. Yea, still a lot of bugs/limitations at the moment with the new designer (I really don't like it at all). However, I'll likely be using the new designer as much as possible now to fully understand what issues there are, etc. 🙂

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I stopped doing that after reading posts that flows have troubles after using the new designer. Still not sure if this limitation is during saving or if the new designer “compiles” the code incorrect.

for me the missing clipboard is bad and I think it will be harder to share solutions in this forum with the new designer.

If you share your experience in the next week that would be great.

May I ask where you added that parameter to get this to work?

In the URL. It is a simple query parameter.

It will be at the end of the URL for your flow. Something like that below.

Legend! Works for me too. Agree new version is difficult with bugs but I guess when they get fixed we will need to get used to new version. Progress?
