How do I change the dashboard to the old style before this idiotic unusable layout?

I understand how challenging it can be to adjust to changes, especially when you were previously comfortable with how things worked, Localsec. 

The option to switch back to the old interface is no longer available. The primary update involves the appearance of QuickBooks Online, but its core workflows, accounting features, and your data remain the same.

While there's no option to switch back to the old layout, you can submit your comments or input to our product engineers. We value your experience, as it helps us identify areas that need improvement.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback. 
2. Please provide your input in the designated box, and explain how the new layout affects you.
3. Once done, submit it.

You can leave a reply below if you need further assistance with anything else. 

The new UI is seriously so bad. I also really hate it. I have no idea why Intuit is too stupid to listen to its customers, nobody likes this new UI. Its dogwater. I swear their motto is "lets make things worse for our customer base and charge ridiculous amounts of money to do so!" 

This sums it up perfectly.  

Thanks again, Intuit, for making it take even longer for me to perform every single task.

Agree!  It's awful.  Junk at the top I have to scroll past.  Matching transactions only halfway works now. It's hot garbage.  

I am a small business and do not have time to figure out what the heck you have done to the UI. I find it completely unusable and would like to revert back to the old UI.

I will agree with everyone else here. I'm not paying what I do each month for this to be all flashy and "New" looking. I need to go on there, get done what I need to and get back to running my business. This new layout is an atrocity. 

It needs to be simple and fast, not flashy. 

This new UI is absolutely horrible - who decided this was a good idea.  I am sure small business is your core clientele and now you are making it harder for us to do our daily tasks.  Do not give me a line of a more modern look.  No one cares what it looks like, we only want to go in and take care of our accounting tasks and get it done efficiently so we can go back and run our business's.  The team who designed this should be fired!

"If it's not broke, don't fix it! Put the desktop view back!

I can not find all of my recurring transactions. This update is horrible. If I can’t get my old version back I will be looking for a different company. 

I understand that the old layout's familiarity is necessary to you, @Homesbycari. These changes are designed to bring tools, AI agents, and collaboration features into one place to help customers work more efficiently. 

Please note that switching back to the old layout is no longer available. But I'll guide you on how quickly locate your recurring transactions. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon in the top right corner. 
2. Under the Lists column, select Recurring Transactions. 
3. Here you will see a list of all your recurring transaction templates. 

1. Go to Reports and search for the Recurring Template List report.
2. Click Customize, then select to expand the Filter section.
   
   
3. Select the Distribution Account checkbox. You can also choose specific accounts from the dropdown.
4. Select Run report.

If you have any follow-up questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to post again in the Community or leave a comment on this thread.
