When I try to do the same today, I just get a message saying something like "metadata is downloaded, do you want to update the book". I don't get a chance to compare the new metadata with the old.

Can anyone please tell me how to get my "old" view back?

Kind regards,
Andreas
@ahab1972 - I assume you are using the "bulk metadata download" - Ctrl+D method - when the job finishes you should get a notify message at bottom right corner, viz :
