 * Completely changing the editing process without furnishing complete documentation
   is irresponsible. The option to use the “classic” editor offers visual/code options,
   neither of which emulates the classic editor. For one glaring example, the visual
   mode offers an option to insert a media file (uncleverly disguised as an icon
   instead of the previous Add Media button) but the code editing option does not.
   At the very least, please restore an Add Media button or icon to the code editor
   for those of us who were quite happy with the classic editing options.
    And if
   you expect anyone to use the new editor, please furnish proper documentation.
   If it is already there, tell us how to find it!

 * you can install [Classic Editor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/)
   or [Disable Gutenberg](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/) plugin
   to get back the classic editor.
