The new profile page
I would like to make the suggestion that FamilySearch does NOT change the current profile page. The current profile page is much easier to read, is much easier on the eyes, and has neutral colors. The blue and pink on the new profile page are over the top and are, in my opinion, not attractive at all. I do not understand why FamilySearch wants to change something that we are already accustomed to using, especially when there is no obvious benefit to the users.

Most strongly agree. PLEASE RESTORE THE PREVIOUS PROFILE PAGES. The New Ones are much more difficult to use and the Previous ones made sense and were easy to see and navigate.

It's amazing how quickly you can adapt - when you have to! Like many others, I held-out to the last minute in switching to the new page, but now there is no option (and, no - there will be no going back) I am generally carrying on as well as before. I'm sure you, too, will be comfortable in using the new page, in time - including its useful added features.

As soon as I began seeing new capabilities, I switched to the new person page and never went back. Way before Christmas, as I recall.

@DannyLR, what is a specific thing you find more difficult to find or do in the new layout? I ask because nothing has substantially changed, except for the addition of new features, and even the basic appearance is similar enough to the old that I need to look twice to make sure what I'm looking at (when doing web searches for old screenshots, for example).
No, the new layout is not perfect -- but there were aspects of the old one that people complained about (vociferously) back in 2018 when it came out, that never changed until now. People got used to the multi-tab setup, and the relocated marriage information, and whatever other changes they objected to at first. Now the marriages are back underneath the couple, where they used to be prior to 2018, and people complain. The new layout offers a Sources tool and a Notes panel, bypassing some of the shortcomings of multiple tabs, but people haven't found the one and complain about the other.
Change is hard, but you'll get used to it.
