Question

Switch to the old Figma UI

Hey guys,
Is there a way to switch back to the old Figma UI? The new one doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure there are people who like it, but personally, I prefer the previous Figma look and structure. I really dislike the current look and feel of the new UI, not to mention its structture, the previous version was a lot more organized and a lot cleaner and more intuitive.
Thanks,
Chris

    Maybe contact support about this, could be a bug. I doubt they took it out on purpose, at least I really hope they didn’t.

    Hey @Sarah_Maddox, sorry to hear this!

    @Raphael_M’s solution above is correct. What are you seeing on your end from the ? menu? Are you able to share a screenshot?

    I am struggling with the same issue that has been mentioned by other users - as shown in the uploaded screenshot, I am unable to access the previous UI. The option seems to be entirely absent - has it been moved to a different place, or is it inaccessible to certain users?

      Hey @19bwhite180, sorry for the confusion!

      From your screenshot, you are in a Slides file. The option to go back to previous UI is only available via the ? icon when you are in a Figma Design file.

      Just wanted to thank the Figma team for listening to the community regarding UI3. Initially I hated it, it was awful, I just tried it now and it doesn’t feel like I’m using an entirely different app, which was my initial feeling :)))) Not sure what was wrong with the previous one, but the new one feels good too :)

      Hey, guys. 

      I'm facing a similar problem. There is also no button to switch to the old interface. I'm using the desktop version. My account is old. What could be the problem?

          Hi,
          I used to hate UI3, but Figma listened to our requests and did a really good job with it. Trust me, give it a try, you’ll like it. And if you don’t, there’s nothing you can do but use it anyway :)))). But it’s really good, it’s nothing like the first UI3 version, which was absolutely terrible.
