Option to remove new Header Bar (22.3) from window

I'm a shortcuts person, and I like customizability. Please make the new Header Bar feature of Version 22.3 optional. I have no use for any of the buttons or information on the header, all of which are redundant and can be accessed either through the toolbar or via keyboard shortcuts. I appreciate that the Header may be convenient for new Premiere users, but for power users it is wasted screen real estate.

    Adobe, add the ability to hide the panel by moving the mouse up and bring it back down, as it was with the work panels. This way it will be possible to save the workspace when the panel is not required and all work takes place on the timeline. It's elementary to make you.

    This is ridiculous! We wanted MORE screen real estate not less!

    Sure the new import/export pages are nice, but I will use those for less than 0.1% of the time I spend in Premiere. Put them on the already existing menu bar or allow us to hide the bar PLEASE

      The bar serves no actual purpose, and I would argue it will actually confuse my students (I teach After Effects and Premiere). See the attachment with notes. You've got the word "Edit" now existing in two separate locations.

      The Edit menu has existed at an OS level since, probably, 1984. And you've now placed an identical word directly below it. Since you're using icons to the left and right, why are these three words not icons?

      The title of the project, and the word "Edited" are redundant. This information already exists in the top left of the title bar, where the asterisk clearly shows whether the file has been saved (or not) since its last revision. Using the term "Edited" is really bad, considering changes can me made to the project that aren't "edits," when you've clearly established the word Edit means "working in this very specific workspace."

      The header bar serves no purpose, other than to pave the way to migrate Premiere to an OS that doesn't have a title bar and File menu.

      The new header bar is pointless to myself and many other users and takes up valuable screen space. Especially for those users that are working on laptops or small monitors

        Please allow for customization of the new integrated Header Bar. Import & Export (along with Edit) are larger text points, but Importing & exporting are features I don't use very often except at the project start finish, plus I have fast keys assign to the functions so they are just taking up space in the header bar. Now the workspaces "tabs" are much smaller point size and smooshed together. These I use regularly as I'm switching between workspaces for quick graphics, sound or color correction fixes. So now I have three nicely space tabs with larger text (Import, Edit, Export) that I won't use and the workspace tabs I do use harder to see and right on top of each other. Please allow us to decide how we need things laid out. Each user is different, with customization we can all work in the way that is most efficient for our individual workflows.. Thank you.

          Yes! Everything else in the UI is customizable, except for this new "feature." I want my screen back.

            Must be a Windows limitation then. Here's what I get with that shortcut. I saw that Adobe just released an update (22.3.1) but still stuck with the annoying, immovable header. Please fix this Adobe!

            Yep, it was the header bar I was referring to. Works for me on a Mac.
