We understand you're feeling frustrated with the recent updates in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and want to address your concerns directly, Barbara.

We know major changes in QBO's interface can disrupt your workflow, especially when you're used to the old design. The update aims to simplify and speed up tasks, but we understand that adapting can be tough. Some users like the new look; others prefer the classic layout.

We get what you mean about missing the 'desktop part.' You probably miss the quick, familiar navigation and being able to focus just on accounting tasks. The new design still supports core accounting work, but offers new ways to get around. To learn more about the new layout, check out this article: Explore QuickBooks on the Intuit Platform.

The banners and prompts are there to let you know about features like Payroll, Payments, or Time Tracking that might help your business. For some notifications, clicking 'x' or 'No, thank you' a few times should make them show up less often. Some important messages will still appear, so you don't miss key updates or new options.
