Why has the format changed?
It looks like some sort of cluster and too overwhelming to adjust to. Please put it back.

It's exhausting, not fully updated. They left on the details for everything. Why is everything larger? If I wanted the font larger, I could have made it that way. But the bright colors are actually hurting my eyes. It was nice before.

Maybe ask for input from participants before changing everything. It wasn't broken so there was nothing to fix.

The new format is horrible.
The screen is too cluttered with information that I could go find if I wanted it, but don't need it to be there all day every time.
The process of editing the indexing (the indexer has made an error that needs to be corrected) is cumbersome and adds 1 or 2 steps to the correction process, besides making it much more difficult to monitor and keep track of what comes next.
It is much more difficult for a high-volume user to navigate because there is so much clutter.
When a hint comes up that a person might already be in FamilySearch (I attach a lot of records and see this a lot), because of all the clutter, it is much more difficult to determine of the hint is for a person of interest or not. My initial reaction is that the number of duplicates will multiply because the new format is so hard to work with. The process of examining a record hint to see if it is a person of interest now has more steps that before.
Yes, we could learn to use the new format. But we seem to have taken a giant step backward. I agree that we need to go back to what we had.

@RogerJenkins, just a suggestion, you should join the New Person Page group I cited above. It is a much more effective place to post New Person Page comments than to the General Question category where you can help improve things.

On the right hand column within a file, there is a tool section. If you select my layout settings, it lets you select single rather than double and it helps a lot.

I agree with previous comments . If something works , as the old version did, why does it have to be changed to something more complicated.

I believe memories is not nearly as easy to use as before the change. It is hard to believe that those who tested these new changes gave positive feed back.
