Click on the Dashboard Actions Menu and select Revert to original dashboard

Coming Soon: Features Not Yet Supported
The New Dashboard Experience will continue to be updated with new features. There are a few existing features from the original dashboard design that are not yet supported.
Adding and Editing a Look within the Dashboard
The New Dashboard Experience does not currently support adding or editing a stand-alone Look (rather than a report built directly into a tile). It is possible to add a look to a new dashboard by navigating to the Look and saving to the dashboard from there.
Breadcrumb Navigation Menu
The navigation dropdown to the top left of the dashboard screen, which allows navigation between dashboards and looks within the containing folder, is not yet supported in the New Dashboard Experience. However, you can click directly on the containing folder’s name which is above that Dashboard Name to open the folder.
