 This approach allows you to easily switch between the stable fortnightly release and the cutting-edge daily updates, or even specific versions for testing purposes.
 
-### Accessing the Legacy Frontend
-
-If you need to use the legacy frontend for any reason, you can access it using the following command line argument:
-
-```
---front-end-version Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_legacy_frontend@latest
-```
-
-This will use a snapshot of the legacy frontend preserved in the [ComfyUI Legacy Frontend repository](https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_legacy_frontend).
