New interface in SharePoint Online

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 vie...

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

Juan - doen't work using InPrivate either.

I think it's been turned off for my tenant

  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?

    None of those are turned on. My tenant is as vanilla as it comes OOB.
    
    It was working a couple of days ago and then I clicked on classic view for one of the libraries to check something and Poof it's all gone.

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.

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