How do you get the new interface back on SharePoint Online?? I had it and it's turned on in the Admin Center. I switched a Library back to Classic and all of my SharePoint reverted to the classic view. How do I turn the new interface back on?? Or how can I toggle between them??

You can do it by using PowerShell and I also believe that if you open an InPrivate session, it should be back. This is the PowerShell stuff I'm talking about: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Switch-the-default-for-document-libraries-from-new-or-classic-66dac24b-4177-4775-bf50-3d267318caa9

Have done that numerous times Lincoln and I'm stuck in the classic view for every library on my site.

I read somewhere that if you have "publishing" featured turned on, it will not display the new UI. Also any custom master page or custom action like a script link in the site collection will force it to not display the new UI. Either of those the case?

Ah yes, would could possibly go wrong when you "tinker" in production

Guy Johnson, we too had the disappearing Modern library experience, even though under the SharePoint admin center > settings > SharePoint Lists and LIbraries experience we had set to "New experience (auto detect)." The only way to fix was to open each library and "tinker" with the Library Settings > Advanced settings > List experience > change from "Default experience set by my administrator" to "New experience". Fixed the issue when opening in IE, Firefox and Edge (did not test in Chrome).

  Thanx Juan for this.
  However: #1 doesn't have Library setting; #2 is alredy selected; #3 I'm not real versed in PowerShell and very hesitant.
  
  I wonder if the SharePoint Gods have revoked this interface for my tenant?

  The "back to classic" link in the lower left affects the current browser session only; just restart your browser.
