New distribute "personal links" UI is much slower and more cumbersome

Recently, my Qualtrics auto-updated to a new version where distribute “personal links” process/UI is much slower. Before, I could click generate links, easily navigate to the directory I wanted, then select the entire list or individual participants. Now, it opens a separate tab, makes me slowly select my directory with multiple clicks (including loading time), click “next” twice, and finally, click “generate .csv”. 

I generate personal links for multiple surveys per participant and multiple participants each week. This UI change is about to tack on a lot of extra time to my workflow. Please revert to a faster and more intuitive UI for distributing personal links. The previous version was great, I’m not sure why extra steps have been added in a new and ostensibly “improved” version of Qualtrics.

I’m upset about this change too. It almost seems like something is broken, that is how jarring it is to bounce between tabs.

Also, I can’t seem to set specific dates for survey links to expire. Is this the case for you as well or did you find a way? The old way to generate personal links let you bring up a calendar to choose which date you want a survey to expire.

Perhaps you can try creating personal links from directories>distribution. There is still the option to select a specific date from there.
