OLD FAMILY SEARCH
Leave it alone. The new one is much more difficult to work with ... just like the "new" source attachment tool ... it was working fine. STOP "fixing" things that work well and people are use to. You will just cause more errors to be put in the system while everyone tries to figure out when capabilities went. Please STOP

What new source attachment tool? Source Linker hasn't changed in years.

It has changed for me. Some time ago the source linker stopped showing the original document (sometimes you can get it with additional "clicks" and sometimes you cannot. The current source display for "Record" is an extracted version, with less than the full information available in the source.
When "Image" is available you find extraction errors in relationships, ages, and places. Frequently for obituaries, for example, only the state is given in the "Record" view and you have to go to the "Image" for find what paper it appeared in for a city/county.
I found the earlier source linker much easier to use, and provided a better display of relationships and total source content.

Ah! You're not talking about Source Linker.
You're talking about the new(ish) format for the display of indexed records, which did indeed change a while back, and I think you're not alone in not categorizing it as a change for the better. (I, for one, have given up on trying to interpret its presentation of marriage records. I just go to the image to figure out who married whom.)
