Old routes work again
An old-style URL such as /umbraco#/content/content/edit/1234 now redirects to the correct edit URL, and the same goes for media.

Integer node IDs, back in the backoffice
Crumpled Nostalgid surfaces the integer node ID of every content and media item in the Umbraco backoffice, and redirects the old integer-ID edit URLs to the current ones.
Why would you want the old ID?
After Umbraco 13 the integer node ID was hidden in favour of the GUID key, and edit URLs now carry the GUID. The integer is still there in the database and in a node's path, and it is far easier to remember, type and share.
That matters for support and maintenance work: tracking down a 500 error, an out-of-sync Umbraco Cloud environment, or every place an old address was used. Nostalgid gives the ID back.
What does Nostalgid do?
It brings back the old integer-ID routes, and adds a view that shows the ID on every item.
A view that shows the ID
A new workspace view on every content and media item surfaces the underlying integer ID.
Click to copy
Copy the ID in one click, to save those seconds.
Not nostalgic enough?
A tooorangey setting, when set to true, renders the node ID in orange.
