Is it just me or is the new content editor missing the add/remove feature for Slice-Zones? If so, why and could I set the older editor as a default? ![Screenshot 2023-10-29 at 23.46.32](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/9/9bdd1c40568e0ac9801ded8aa39987975c8db43b.png) ![Screenshot 2023-10-29 at 23.47.53](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/d/d8d0cdf366f0388f1022b965164cf95bf690b51e.png) ---

I think this is actually _unrelated_ (enabling legacy builder). On new repositories you can "enable legacy builder" to build document types like was done in the past, but editing individual documents now defaults to a new editor version. That being said, I personally much prefer the _legacy_ document building. ---

Facing the same issue! We cannot add slices to new documents in the new builder. ---

@leopold You are right. I deleted my comment. ---

Hey Team, So, in the new builder this button βž• has been moved to the table of Slices on the side which shows previews of all the Slices: ![Screenshot 2023-10-30 at 14.55.12](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/9/91cf77c804fe12d066d9c6f2ba0231383fe7e984.png) If you're not seeing this, then it's probably because you have legacy Slices (pre-slice machine). We will be rolling out an update this week, so you'll have a representation of the legacy Slices in the side panel and can add new ones. πŸŽ‰ ![Screenshot 2023-10-30 at 14.56.27](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/prismic/original/2X/8/81925e1054d2b1af12fee804f91a96aa73cf447e.jpeg) We are also working on an upgrade tool so users will be able to upgrade legacy slices to the new format. πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ For anyone who wants me to reenable the legacy editor by default, you can send me your repo URL here, and I'll process that for you πŸ™‚ ---

> [@Phil](#): > > For anyone who wants me to reenable the legacy editor by default, you can send me your repo URL here, and I'll process that for you πŸ™‚ Thanks, if the update arrives soon, then there is no need πŸ™‚ A bit of a side-note, but I wanted to mention it somewhere. If a document type has many tabs (I am for example working on things that have 7 tabs), they look quiet bad (cramped) in the new editor. In case you want to add an internal issue regarding that. ---

Hi. We would like to have the legacy builder enabled as default if that is possible. Repo is [mycall.prismic.io](http://mycall.prismic.io) I would also like to second Leopolds side-note regarding the tabs. In our case it makes some documents unusable, as the tabs push the "Save" / "Publish" buttons out of the page. ---

The tabs in the new UI has been marked as a place for improvement already πŸ™‚ As for when we'll have legacy Slices in the table on the side, we're looking at the end of the week for that release. ---
