Trello card comments now appear in a side tab — how to go back to the classic layout?

[Tassiane Corrêa]

Hi there!

Since mid-April 2025, I've noticed that the comments inside my Trello cards are no longer displayed underneath the card content as they used to. Instead, they now appear in a separate tab on the right-hand side of the screen.

This new layout is really affecting my workflow, as I rely heavily on having a full, continuous timeline of the card's information — including comments — in one place.

Here’s what I’ve already tried to fix or revert this change:

• Switched browsers

• Cleared cookies/cache

• Used incognito mode

• Tested on other devices

• Logged in with a different Trello account

Unfortunately, none of those worked. Is this a new permanent layout? Will there be a way to switch back to the classic view? Any help or official statement would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Actually, you can go to the Overview page by clicking in the upper left hand corner on "Trello".

Then on the right top just left of the search box is a dropdown. There you can opt out of the Beta. Which sorta fixes it for now.

I love it on the right and now is below, nooooo.

Is there a way to choose where you want it?

Same here. Super annoying.The previous card view made it so easy to scan all info at once glance. The new card view makes this horribly complicated and tedious. Please change it back!!

This is affecting me too. The new layout appeared suddenly, and there is no obvious way to revert it. 

I prefer the old layout and would like to switch back. 

I really don't appreciate Atlassian making such a big change without notification or giving users a way to opt in.
