How to Keep QuickBooks Online in Classic View, Change it Easily 2026

By Impran M N

Adjusting to a major interface overhaul is disruptive, especially if you had workflows built around the old layout. While QuickBooks Online has retired global classic view for standard dashboards, specific screens like reports and bank feeds still offer a toggle back to the previous version. This guide shows you where to find it.

01Explore the new interface first

Take a moment to review the restructured left-hand navigation panel so you know what's changed.

02Switch reports to classic view

Go to Reports, open a specific document, then click the Switch to Classic View toggle in the upper header ribbon.

03Save your preferred layout

Once in classic view, adjust columns as needed and click Save Customization to lock in that format.

04Switch bank feeds to classic view

Go to All Apps, select Accounting, launch Bank Transactions, then click Switch to Previous Version in the upper toolbar.

05Find hidden toggles if needed

If a classic toggle isn't visible on a screen, use the top header search bar to jump directly into legacy menus, or submit feedback through the Gear icon.
