Posted on Feb 27, 2019

Article Updated: 01 May 2020

YouTube is pushing really difficult on creators to switch to its new YouTube Studio platform (formerly YouTube Creator Studio), which is still in BETA version and lacks a lot of, namely, Analytics features we can only find in Classic at the moment.

Update 01/MAY/2020: YouTube Creator Studio Archetype is gone forever. RIP old buddy and thanks for the ride!

Update 03/APR/2020: YouTube Creator Studio Classic is finally going away by the terminate of April 2020. The obvious date shift probably happened because of COVID-19 global pandemic consequence.

Update 18/MAR/2020: YouTube Creator Studio Classic is finally going away by the end of March 2020.

Update 03/JAN/2020: YouTube Creator Studio Classic is apparently notwithstanding around, unknown for how long, though.

Update 21/AUG/2019: YouTube continues increasing pressure onto creators by removal of the preferences choice in new Studio's dashboard. For now, uncomplicated web link trick explained beneath works, merely that choice will probably be gone forever in few weeks, likewise. Bask terminal days of Classic while it lasts! ;)

Update 31/JUL/2019: YouTube Creator Studio Archetype will be permanently shut down by the end of 2019. We notwithstanding cannot find missing features named in this article, and likely they'll be forever lost in the transition to the new app. The only manner to have them back again will be to download (export) Analytics information from YouTube Studio and import them dorsum in a spreadsheet to create custom charts and perform specific data analysis that was bachelor in Classic, either manually or by using pre-made scripts and macros.

How To Permanently Switch To YouTube Creator Classic

In February, YouTube devs started motorcar-defaulting users to new Studio, regardless of their previous selection. For the fourth dimension being, Archetype is going to stay, merely former platform'south days are practically numbered. How tin can nosotros still switch back to good old classic version and gear up it to be our default – at least, while it lasts and YouTube doesn't permanently shut it downward?

We still prefer Classic over new Studio version. Force of habit is probably a dominant cause in this case, let's admit that right now. Archetype still offers a lot of features which Studio doesn't at the moment, despite the fact that it receives abiding updates with ported features and analytics charts literally on a weekly ground, getting new existing and exclusive ones similar impressions and click-through rates, performance comparison betwixt videos/channels, and easing access to others, like subscribers per each video and then on.

Still, one feature that we really miss is the x-axis fourth dimension control. We even so cannot select x-axis reporting interval and prepare it to exist weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly or pre-defined rolling range in order to more easily visualize and see cumulative growth (or regression) over time on a simplified chart. With then much data available, it is often like shooting fish in a barrel to miss a forest for a unmarried tree.

Another, relatively recent modify, that is going away with Classic design is the height-left Card button, that allowed direct access to Main YouTube menu (History, My Aqueduct, Subscriptions, Trending, Premium, YouTube TV …), which at present doesn't do that any more. Instead, it does elementary Plummet Menu action. Same matter happened to main YouTube page, where information technology collapses the carte, instead providing access to useful shortcuts.
