How can I switch off the new Editor ? It's catastrophic in my case

[Pierre-Yves Mathys]

I have a lot of card which include css and html solutions.

And as a good habit, any code includes a comment to explain the solution. 

With the new editor all my css comment are changed by interpreting the MarkDown

Is it possible to switch off both : new editor and MarkDown ? 

PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   over 150 cards.......

Exemple of text I keep in a card (before was working well - just have to open the card, copy, paste // now I loose all my /* and */ marks.... ) : 

/* --------------------------------- */

Hello, Pierre!

Welcome to the community!

If you want to revert back to the editor that you're used to, for a very limited time period, you can turn this off by clicking on the “Share feedback” link just below the editor and then clicking “Turn off”.

However, please be aware that in the coming months, we are permanently going to this new editor experience for all users so we do appreciate any feedback before then.

Kind regards
Alisson

I can't believe in this. Why will be the users obligated to use this new editor? Sincerely, I didn't appreciate this new editor. Like @Pierre-Yves Mathys, I use the cards for others examples and the old editor is the best.

Please, sincerely, consider to keep booth editor versions at the same time forever.

Thanks

[Alisson Sartor]

Hello, Minas Engenharia!

You can click the “Share feedback" blue button to fill up the survey on the experience you have, and can definitely ask for the legacy version to be kept. Every feedback and suggestion you have will be deeply appreciated. 

Kind regards

I'm glad there's an option to turn the feature off.

I've left feedback as to why I don't want it.  But basically, I want to deal with text with minimal formatting.  Not deal with an editor that wants to format everything.

Why would I want it to assume that new lines have paragraph spacing?

[Alisson Sartor]

Hello, Adrian!

Thanks for sharing your opinion in the feedback, our team will definitely take it into consideration!

Simply impossible to work with, this cannot be enforced, if it is we have to look for an alternative solution which would mean for everything.

I mean, copying and pasting a few lines out of a spreadsheet now uploads the entire file? who thought that was a good idea?

Its not just about resisting change, this destroys workflows, the exact opposite of the purpose of the entire product. 

[Diane Taylor]

HATE the new editor with a passion. If I cannot permanently keep it OFF then I will seriously consider another way of managing my information.

It is not intuitive enough and keeps adding extra spacing after each paragraph WHICH I DO NOT WANT. Let me keep single line spacing for everything and don't try to second-guess what my formatting needs are.

[Alisson Sartor]

Hello, Diane!

Can you leave feedback also on the “Share feedback" blue button and fill up the survey?

Oh gosh, I hate the new editor too!! WHY NOT AT LEAST HAVE THE OPTION TO KEEP USING THE OLD ONE????

It is not a disaster in my case like for the person whose code got destroyed, but it is super annoying that the Trello robot is trying to interpret what I want.  And then, it does not take a "no" for an answer.

Here is a super simple example:

Try to start a normal paragraph with the characters "1." (one followed by a period). This is not going to be a list, you just happen to want to start a paragraph with these two characters.  But it either gets indented or it loses the "1."  

Or try to start a list; type "1." and let the robot turn it into a list. Then add some normal text in a few new paragraphs. (So far so good). Now try adding a second list item numbered "2."  If you make it indented, it cannot be "2", it will revert to "1.", so now you have two list items that each start with "1."  Or, you can keep the "2", but then it has to be a normal paragraph, and not indented.

Whoever designed this editor is trying to reinvent the wheel.  MS Word has gone through these problems like 30 years ago!  Numbered lists are complicated unless each list item is a single word.  Please just let me handle them manually!!!!

Hello, Beatrix!

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Can you leave this feedback also on the “Share feedback" blue button and fill up the survey?

There is not a “Share feedback" button any more??? Where did it go???

[Philippe Bardon]

Please leave us using the Markdown editor as we want. I don't want at all to work with this editor and I'll consider moving from Trello.

[Tammy Turner]

Yay! I've found this helpful link on another thread  ... it will allow you to go back to the old version of non-WYSIWYG editing. You have to reboot Trello to get it to work after turning it off. 

go to This link  (with your username, not mine haha) and then you can disable it. 

[sfkleach]

Unfortunately this option does not stick. Trello keep forcing you to try their editor. We do not want to be guinea pigs for yet another WYSWYG editor. By all means keep it for those people who like it but please do not force it on those of us for whom markdown is is fine.

[Tammy Turner]

I have not had this problem. It has stuck...

[American Roof Supplements]

Tammy Turner you are an Angel!!!!!!

[Jonny Gomez]

THANK YOU TAMMY!!! This editor is beyond awful. The people have spoken Atlassian. Make it right. 

[Beatrix Paal]

OMG, Thank you!!!

[Soros Liu]

Thank you!

[Anthony Smith]

The fact that we/I had to google how to turn it off should tell you that the invisible share feedback is not clear and will not give you real feedback, it should be an enforced pop over 'We have switched you to a new editor, if you don't like it...... "

[Alisson Sartor]

Hey, Anthony.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add this internally as well.

Kind Regards,

[pajacz]

I do agree, the new editor causes me a headache as I do type fast and takes ages to "initialise" or mention someone by using @.. 

When i click to add comment and do start typing immediately but editor is still initialising, so trello consume my key stokes as "hot keys" and start moving, archiving.. etc..  DISASTER !!! Please rollback or keep the option to turn it off.

Thanks!

[Alisson Sartor]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add this internally as well.

[Thilo Rusche]

Same here, no feedback button that I can see. I've disabled the editor via /labs, but if this becomes a permanent "feature" with no way of disabling it, we will have to move away from Trello. Using raw markdown is a must for any software development team.

[Kyala Shea]

I don't see a Share Feedback link as mentioned above, so I assume this feedback feature has since been turned off.

But I echo the concerns above; I was initially very excited to see the new editor and appreciated the quick shortcuts for some formatting. However, the implementation is clearly not complete and there are far too many bugs for the editor to be usable, let alone useful.

As others have mentioned, many actions take far too long to return, such that I usually end up tagging myself (the default option), even though I've typed several characters of the recipients name and then the enter key.

As others have mentioned, the numbered list formatting is very simplistic and doesn't cover a bare minimum of needed cases. The list formatting seems almost completely broken. I can never get it to apply to the list lines exclusively; it always applies either to lines above and below (though separated by multiple newlines) and often applies erratically. The same is true of text formatting; it's extremely difficult to get header formatting to apply only the the line of header text rather than to lines above or below it.

The lack of flexibility with line spacing is also restricting.

I hope Trello will keep working on this feature, but always give users the ability to toggle it off, and at the very least keep that ability in place until the editor functions smoothly.

Thanks for considering our feedback.

[Alisson Sartor]

Hello, Kyala!

Thank you very much for the feedback. I agree with you that keeping this toggle option can be the best solution here, being flexible on this might be the best option.

You can still disable the editor here in https://trello.com/my/labs

Kind Regards,

[Tim Washington]

I too hate the new editor. It slows everything down. I have multiple reasons for turning this off. Atlassian, do not force us to the new editor. It makes it harder and slower to mention people, upload files, etc. The classic editor works very well. I was very frustrated when I had to use the new editor.

[AWL NSW Illawarra]

AAAARGH. We've been swapped to the new editor and past puts everything from 10-12 lines on a single line minus spaces. Help...

[American Roof Supplements]

What is the reasoning for going to the new editor? It takes my text that I have been using for 5 years and completely messes everything up. My whole business runs with this app. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS??????????

[sfkleach]

I think this is the high-handed attitude that gives Atlassian a dirty name amongst engineers, I am very sorry to say. I presume that Atlassian have done their research and found there is a majority of users who welcome this, it's absurd to imagine that it will be appreciated by long-standing users.

Having once been a cheerleader for Trello, I now warn new developers to stay clear of this product. I am very sorry, but it has consigned itself to internet history.
