How do I revert to old visualizations pane?

The February update seems to have lost functionality in the visualization pane. How do I revert to the previous version?

I want to revert back to Old Visualization Pane from the one in the top ribbon but I cant not find the New Format Pan option in the Preview Features. Can anyone help, how to revert back?

I tried to uninstall-and-reinstall PowerBI Desktop - No luck 🤔

Agree. I really don't like the new behaviour. It seems like everything takes a few more clicks to get done now. Is there some advantage that I haven't figured out yet?

No, it appears the old one is gone for ever.

Any idea how to revert to the new format pane when the option is not available?

Instead of unchecking New Format Pane, Uncheck, On Object Interactions, then restart Power BI and boom, you will be able to get back the Old Visualization Pane.

Did you ever figure this out @AndrewPF ?  I don't have the option to uncheck either.  Version 2.110.1161.0 64-bit (October 2022)

Total genius, thank you very much. For those who have it in Spanish, it goes like this:2024-07-24 15_53_04-Opciones.png
They remove that check, restart and that's it.

This new Visualization pane is garbage. At least give us the option of toggling off (appears they made it non-negotiable now):
