The UI is changed totally how to get back to older UI?

When did you create this site? And at what tier?

I have a FREE site (for testing) created in November 20, 2024 that has the new UI.

(I was mistaken - I was looking at at Team-Managed Project, which has many of the same UI elements within Projects.)

However my other FREE site created years ago does not have the new UI.

A trial site I created today does have the new UI.

So I believe there was some cut-off date for when sites would get the new UI. Also free sites have the least amount of control/delay for when they get the new UI.

Unfortunately, I do not believe there is an option to go back.

Here's some discussion about the new features:

• The new navigation: Coming to you in 2025

And some documentation for your users (I believe more is coming):

• What is the new navigation in Jira?

Ok, so it's ridiculous that I had to search Google to find a Reddit post that referred me to this YouTube of a webinar hosted by the Boise Atlassian Community (shout out to @Erica Larson) that FINALLY had a list of rollout dates (as of Feb 14, 2025, YMMV, T&C MAY APPLY, READ THE FINE PRINT, SUBJECT TO THE WHIMS OF ATLASSIAN PMs, ETC ETC.):

For better Google indexing, I'll type it out:

Rollout Nav Timeline (Directional)

@Darryl Lee I am not getting the Project Settings option in new UI can you please help me with that?

[Darryl Lee]

Hi @shivani shirguppi - great question!

@Alex Ortiz definitely called it correctly when he said people would have trouble finding Project Settings.

Settings have moved under [...] buttons next to the project name up top, and in the side navigation:
