How do you distinguish between new workspaces and classic workspaces?

Our Power BI workspaces were created by someone who has left our organization.

How can you tell whether a Workspace is "new" or "classic"?

Looking in the Advanced section of the Settings for a workspace, I'm seeing a reference to OneDrive so I'm assuming they are "new":

Hi @JDBOS

 

to clarify a bit:

This is an old workspace:

This is a new workspace:

So yours is a new workspace.

Easiest way to tell in my opinion.

 

Go to the Workspace. In the upper left, click the ellipses. Next to Update App or Publish App. If you see Workspace access, it is new. If you see Members in the list, it is classic.

Thanks for the quick reply @Greg_Deckler  

Looking at the upper, I'm not seeing ellipses - although there is a set on the far right but they show Workplace Settings and Workplace Access.  Should I be looking at a different screen?

Right, you have the ellipses highlighed in your image by a rectangle. Right, and you saw Workspace access in the list so new workspace.

As a new user, just figuring out where to find info given the different versions is challenging - but it all seems to make good sense.

And thanks again for all of your responses in the BPI Community - I look at yours first because they always insightful!
