How to get old interface back?

[Joao Victor]

A few weeks ago Jira software introduced a new interface, but it has a ugly ux. 

I've been using jira for 7 years and abruptly changing it to a new "clean and easy to use" interface made my productivity going down, buttons and actions aren't in the place it was supposed to be, now I have to find out where the buttons are in the new interface. 

It was possible through Personal Settings > Jira Labs > New Navigation > Turn Off, but now the option disappeared and looks like the Jira team decided to rollout to all users. Without I even asking for. 

Is there any hidden option to get the old interface back? Or can I ask to support team?

Hi @Joao Victor 

Welcome to the community.

You can't return to the old UI.

This also isn't abruptly done, thre have been community announcements on this.

Many users I know are completely dissatisfied.  Sidebar is over crowded and not user friendly.  Why can't they give options to choose?
