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

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.

    hi Guy Johnson
    My client also had this issue with some of their sites and seeing the inconsistent user interface despite the setting (New experience (auto-detect)). As it has been mentioned in these posts there are certain features that reverts back to classic view. For full list of features that affect this new library interface, please visit the link below.

    hope this helps.
    Chirag.
