Hey guys,

i am not a fan of the new designer and on top its performance is terrible.

Is there a way how to permanently disable the new designer?

    @Sifu no, there is no way to disable the new designer permanently. When you create a new flow just switch immediately to the classic designer. I think many of us are doing this. Certainly I prefer the classic designer which I've worked with happily for over 5 years. Unfortunately, in the long term I suspect it's more likely that Microsoft will turn off the classic designer, but I hope not.

    I agree. I hope before the day Microsoft turns off the classic designer, they make some major changes to the new one. The new designer seems like a step backward rather than forward.

    Hi,

     

    I managed to fix this by adding 

    &v3=false

    or

    ?v3=false

    at the end of the URL.

    @Chriddle  unfortunately, the workaround of adding the comment in classic designer is not working anymore :(

    I try to add a comment in classic designer. Save the flow. Open again and it goes to the new laggy designer with a message:

    The current flow contains comments that are not supported by the new designer. Editing or deleting operations using the new designer might result in comments being removed. You can view and edit comments by returning to the classic designer experience.
     
    So what I am doing now is putting ?v3=false at the end of the url.
