Question

Permanently disable Modern View

How can I permanently disable Modern View? Overall, it's just more hassle. One very obvious disadvantage is the wide, grey margins around the white working area. This makes a lot of text strings such as Description, Num, and other fields unreadable, because it overflows and is cut-off. Whereas, this would not be cut off in Classic View, as Classic View takes up the full width of the screen.

 

Please, I do not want to use Modern View, ever. How can we just disable it permanently?

 

Thank you.

    You can't permanently disable the ridiculous modern view.  QB can't let us have that much, if any control over our own companies, for their own selfish reasons.  

     

    Someone from QB should be along shortly to tell you to leave feedback.  Just know that you CAN leave such feedback, but it won't do any good. They don't care what we all think or want.

      I understand that you preferred to use the Classic view rather than the Modern view, @bookkeeper4life. Let me share some information about the matter.

       

      Since December 11, 2023, all Simple Start and Essential users were moved to the new invoice experience automatically and there's no option for them to switch back to the old layout. However, if you're subscribed to Plus and Advanced, you still have the option to switch back and use the older version.

       

      On the other hand, the option to disable the Modern view is currently unavailable in QuickBooks. Nevertheless, if you want this feature added to your plan, I recommend sending a feature request to our Product Development team to consider and add this for future updates. 

       

      You can follow the steps below for your reference:

       

      1. Select the Gear icon, then choose Feedback.
      2. Type in your comments or product suggestions.
      3. Select Next to submit.

       

      You can track your feature request and view the new updates released in QuickBooks by visiting our Customer Feedback page.

       

      Furthermore, you can access this article to know more about the changes in the invoices and estimates: See what’s new with estimates and invoices in QuickBooks Online.

       

      You can always come back to this thread if you have other questions about the new invoice layout or any other concerns. We're here to address it and help you. Have a wonderful day!

      In response to the overwhelming number of people that want to ditch Modern View as the default, QBO has decided to make that the only option by the end of 2024.   It's apparent the "feedback" button goes to the dishwasher in the company cafeteria and not to the developers.  Does anyone have a line on another accounting program created by accountants and not "gamers"?

        I've seen people on here suggesting Wave, but we recently discovered TaxDome as well. We're deciding while we get our books cleaned up so it will be a smooth transition. A\What about you, have you found any other good options?
