-## How to Use the New UI
+## How to Use the Legacy UI
 
-On May 11, 2018, our redesign of the web UI went into beta. You can use it with
-Consul 1.1.0 by setting the environment variable `CONSUL_UI_BETA` to `true`.
-Without this environment variable, the web UI will default to the old version. To
-use the old UI version, either set `CONSUL_UI_BETA` to false, or don't include
-that environment variable at all.
+As of Consul version 1.2.0 the original Consul UI is deprecated. You can
+still enable it by setting the environment variable `CONSUL_UI_LEGACY` to `true`.
+Without this environment variable, the web UI will default to the latest version.
+To use the latest UI version, either set `CONSUL_UI_LEGACY` to false or don't 
+include that environment variable at all.
