This is a TERRIBLE deprecation. Especially when you can't get ordered lists to render correctly with the crappy UI.

Hi Eve,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! It's nice to have you join us.

In Confluence, the Source Editor functionality is provided by an add-on, for example, Atlassian Marketplace - Source Editor add-ons. Therefore, if you used to have the source editor functionality on your site, the add-on might be no longer enabled. 

With the built-in options, it is only possible to view the source using the More actions menu:

I also remember that for these Source Editor add-ons they don't work on first drafts. So, if you're on a site that does have a source editor add-on enabled and it's not working, try publishing the page first.

I hope that helps!

Take care,

Shannon
