how do i make classic view the default?

QuickBooks updates the view for a better and more convenient experience, darwinans6. While switching to Classic View as the default interface is unavailable, you can suggest the features you like most about it to our developers.

Although transitioning to the Modern View can be overwhelming, it enhances the platform to ensure that we can deliver the new features and reliability. In this case, I recommend submitting a request for the features you enjoy about the Classic View, which our engineers may potentially incorporate into the new view.

Follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Gear icon at the top.
2. Under the Profile column, select Feedback.
3. Share your suggestion, then click Next.

People have been asking for this for over two years in dozens of posts with many upvotes: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-search?document_type=Community&filter=locatio...

So you have plenty of feedback that this is a desired feature. Can you implement, or at least provide some transparency on if/when this will be added?

@gregono1 Yes, this is the question.

@JamaicaA we are aware of the Feedback feature and have been using it since 2024 to get the Classic View back as the default. However this feature is useless if we are not provided updates that our feedback has been received at all or when we can expect to see it implemented.

So, now all we need to know is where do we see updates from Quickbooks about when/if they will be bringing this heavily requested feature back?

We can track recent updates and ideas on the Customer Feedback page, PBJ10, which is a great resource to see what’s being worked on. 

At this time, there’s no confirmation or details yet regarding whether the Classic View feature will be reinstated. Use this link to see product updates and enhancements: https://feedback.qbo.intuit.com/.

We understand the importance of the Classic View feature and encourage you to stay connected through the Customer Feedback page for updates.

If you have any other concerns, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

I just went to that feedback site you shared, and found it almost impossible to use.

When I click on a category, almost all of it is spam, including advertisements for crypto, online betting, and ED medication. 

When I filter down to Ideas "under review", there is only a single Idea found: https://feedback.qbo.intuit.com/forums/930640-quickbooks-apptransactions?status_id=748113. And even that one looks like AI-generated spam.

So if none of the real ideas are under review, and the rest of the site is almost all spam, how are we supposed to believe that Intuit is listening to us? It doesn't look like anyone has been moderating your feedback site for years.

@GlinetteC under which of these forum categories would we find anything that has to do with Quickbooks Classic View? All of the forums listed below do not seem to fit what we're talking about and they are all filled with posts for crypto scams, escorts, and malware.

In fact, I did not see any reference to what is being worked on by the Quickbooks team. Is there somewhere on the forums where we can see updates from any Quickbooks team members?
