About the Snowsight upgrade¶
As a Snowflake user, your web interface access might be in one of the following stages during the Snowsight upgrade process:
Stage one: Users choose default |
Stage two: Snowsight default |
Stage three: Snowsight only |
||
|
All users in the account have Snowsight as the default web interface. |
|
Currently, Snowflake is upgrading users from the first stage (Users choose default) to the second stage (Snowsight default), where Snowsight is set as the default for all users in an account and Classic Console is still accessible as needed.
Some groups of users have already been upgraded to the Snowsight default stage, and others will be upgraded soon. See Upcoming upgrades to Snowsight default stage and Already upgraded to Snowsight default or another stage to determine where you are in the upgrade process.

If you don’t see the option to select a default experience, your default web interface might be set at the account level. See All users in the account have Snowsight as the default web interface.
Select Save.
After you set Snowsight as the default for your user profile, you can access the Classic Console if needed using the Classic Console option in the menu.

You can contact your Snowflake account representative to set Snowsight as the default experience for all users in your account.
Snowsight is the only interface available¶
