## Why we created UI 2.0
UI 2.0 is the next evolution of Starshipit, built on a modern foundation that enables:
- **Faster updates**: Our teams can deliver new features more frequently
- **Improved accessibility**: Better experience for all users
- **Enhanced performance**: More responsive while offering more functionality
- **Your feedback**: Incorporating the improvements you've asked for
## Moving to UI 2.0
If you'd like to check out the new platform, we've made this super easy.
1. Log into [Starshipit](https://app.starshipit.com/) with your usual Starshipit credentials.
2. In the bottom left of the navigation menu, you'll see a toggle to switch to **UI 2.0**.
3. Selecting this will redirect you to our new interface.
## Moving to Classic UI
If at any point you'd like to return back to the original application, you can change back by:

## Print Application
If you currently use the [Print Application](/articles/printing-labels-packing-slips/printing/set-up-desktop-print-application) you will need to download the our new print app for UI 2.0 to be visible. Please note, UI 2.0 is currently only supported on the Windows Print App.
1. In [Starshipit](https://app2.starshipit.com/), go to **Settings >** **Printing >** **Download Starshipit Desktop**.
2. Complete the installation wizard, this will prompt you to uninstall the old version.
3. Log into the application with your Starshipit credentials.
4. In the top navigation bar select **Version** > **Starshipit 2 (new UI)**.
5. You may need to set up your printing settings again. You can do this by following the above linked guide.
