Setting up Dreamweaver cc 2017 similar to 2015

We are using 2015 in class and I would like to set up 2017 as closely to that as possible. Mostly the properties bar at the bottom and the old style css sidebar if possible. I'm not seeing how to do this and would like to have it this way if I can. So how do I get these set up properly?

2017 is completely new.  New toolbars, new colors, new workspaces, new icons, new code engine, new F&R, etc... 

You can customize your workspace but if you're married to 2015, you should probably stick with it until you have some time to get oriented with all the new changes in 2017.  

I have both versions on my system.  I use 2017 mainly but sometimes I need 2015 for special situations.   When you download 2017, be sure to hit the Advanced button and disable removal of 2015.   Otherwise, Adobe takes the old versions off your computer.

Unfortunately, the Adobe help desk is telling me this is impossible, and that if I try to download the previous version, it will 'default upgrade to the new version.'

Excuse me???!!!  If you're a paying Creative Cloud member, you can access previous versions all the way back to CS6 if you want them.   See screenshot.

That said, previous versions are not available to 7-day trial subscribers.
