Question

Is there a way to still get to the old version of Adobe Express Web?

The link disappeared to use the original Adobe Express. Is there a way to still use it? The new version is terrible for scheduling social posts. One important feature that is gone is the ability to right-click on a previous post and duplicate it. That was a huge time-saver, because users could repurpose a post, rework text, replace art for weekly posts, etc. Will this feature be added into the new version. I was promised that it would still be available. Also the new version is challenging to get compatible artwork to upload to socials. Thanks, Dan

I can't work with this new Express. I try to move a pic and the whole post slides to the side. Not sure what to do with it. I loved working with the old version, but I'm not savvy enough to work with this one!

Hi @pattc. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing with the new Adobe Express. The issue you’re describing—where moving a picture causes the whole post to shift—could be related to the alignment or grouping of elements on your canvas. Try the following steps:

Check for Grouped Elements: Make sure the image isn’t grouped with other elements. Click on the image, then look for an “Ungroup” option in the toolbar.
Lock Background Elements: If the background or other elements are moving unintentionally, you can lock them in place. Select the element and click the lock icon in the toolbar.
Zoom and Drag Carefully: Zoom in to get better control when moving smaller objects.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks ^CA

I was creating graphics for T Shirts I sell on Etsy. I have created very few since the change. It sucks! It is not even clear how to save a file and how to remove a background got more complicated - Another example of changes driven by the developers that are not looking at it from the user perspective. Make the users work harder, they look for alternatives to your poor design. Anyone discover an alternative worth exploring, please update here so we can all bail on Adobe together!

Hi @stephenr86493534

Sorry to hear you are not happy with the new version of Express, but I am confused about some of the specific feedback you've provided.

> It is not even clear how to save a file

Changes to Express files auto-save, same as in the previous version

> remove a background got more complicated

Remove background continues to be a one-click operation. The functionality can be accessed both outside the editor as well inside it. See screenshots below. If you are looking to further refine the automatic background removal, you can use the Erase tool

In case I've misunderstood your questions, please follow up here or send me a direct message.

Hello @DVous I was able to get on the old version and transfer my files to the desktop version by typing in https://express.adobe.com/sp/projects it should pull up your folders and allow you to export them to the new version in a desktop format.

We don't want the new version. We want the old version, with our files and our work. 5 years worth of files are gone?

I second that! The new version has made life really tough!

Are they even aware how difficult it is getting? I feel it's a degrade rather than an upgrade. It's a pain... And Adobe has no solution!!

Use the mobile app instead.

The web-based desktop version can't be rolled back, sorry.

Hey @DVous,

We're sorry for your experience with the new Express version.

Although this version has many new features, we are aware of a few areas that may require additional attention, and we are actively working to address them. Additionally, I'd like to say that it is not possible to go back to the earlier version of the app.

As for the duplicating feature in scheduler, it is a planned feature and will be there to use in some time. You can find its status here: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express?query=duplicate and can also use the same link to submit new feature requests directly to the product team.

We appreciate your feedback and patience.

Thanks,

Amitej

It is really disappointing how horrible the new updated version of Adobe Express is. Please create an option that allows us to use the previous older version before the update. The updated version is so bad.

I agree. I am looking for an alternative to Adobe after using it for years.
