Restore previous person page
The new version of the person page does nothing to improve or simplify to previous version. It doesn't make it easier even for a "worldwide Church". People around the world are equally, (if not more so) interested in having a clear and user-friendly process for recording and researching their family histories. This new version has made it more difficult in many, many ways! (too many to include screenshots of them all)

I agree. Although there may be a few things that are a little bit nicer like the blue and red headers for the couple, for the most part I find it very difficult to view and thus use. The right hand column is way too large, the old one was perfect. It contained all of the same information in about 1/4 of the space. The font is too thin and small especially for us old timers who are most likely in the majority doing research. I don't need to know when the last change was done and by whom on every single field. It is so prominent and with the added blank space around it overshadows the main data. If I need to know I can always go to the Latest Changes in the right hand column. Much simpler. There is so much blank space that it takes over the whole page and stretches out all of the pertinent data so that we have to spend all of our time scrolling up and down especially since it now has much less width so that so many lines have to wrap down especially on place names. By only showing what information has been entered it no longer reminds us of what information is missing or the difference between birth and blessing or baptism dates or death and burial dates. I agree that we need to have the ability to go back to the old format if it works better for us. Not all of us prefer vanilla. Some of us really like chocolate. Please give us the chance to choose. We don't want to discourage anyone from contributing and sharing their knowledge and expertise just because of a difference of opinion over the optics of page format.

The "new page" is messy and confusing. The old page is concise and clear. Please always have the original detail page available. So far no one I have spoken with likes the new version.

It sounds like you have the Detail View turned on. The change in the page must have turned it on for everyone, probably to remind them it was there. This has been a feature of the Details page for years. At the top of each section is a slider to turn it on and off. If you don't like seeing the reason statements, the last contributor, and the date of the last change, just turn it off. It stays off until you turn it on again.
