Why do you destroy a tool that was great and replace it with an online version of Word?

[Radim Spetlik]

I am really not happy that you don't allow me to use "Legacy" style of working in confluence cloud. A cloud where I was forced to go when the server confluence was discontinued.

Why did you replace a perfect working tool with a bad online version of Word?

Hello @Radim Spetlik

Thank you for reaching out.

In order to provide you with the option to use the Old editor for your Confluence application, I created an internal support ticket for you, as it is mentioned in this thread for free plans:

https://getsupport.atlassian.com/browse/JST-639802 

We will reach out through this ticket to provide the next steps to properly enable the old editor for you.

Thanks!

Welcome to the community.  I can help escalate an issue for you with Atlassian who could set you up with the legacy editor if you like since you are on the free version.  

Please, keep in mind that doing this will not enable the Legacy Editor as default option for content creation. Also, no new features are being implemented for the Legacy Editor and bug fixing for it is also limited.

You can check more information on the request of the legacy editor here:

• Change to your content is in your hands

Please let me know if this is something you would like me to assist you with.

I was so upset about this thing that I made grammar errors in my post and didn't notice. 

It would be great if we could use confluence as we know it, not that bad online version of Word.

Although I understand the move from a server to cloud, I don't understand the move from a great documenting utility to a bad Word. All shortcuts missing, the great features that made documenting fun - gone.

Please, do escalate an issue - we would like to have a "normal confluence", not an online Word.

Thanks...

It has been escalated.  I believe that over time the new editor will improve.  You are not the only one who has had this concern.
