IntelliJ 2020.3 Legacy Git Local Changes View

Some time between IntelliJ 2020.1 and 2020.3, the Git window view has changed. I understand the value of the current view and I've used it before 2020.3, but where has the old default view gone? How can I view all of my local changes as compared to HEAD?

I've scoured their documentation, but nothing has helped. Some of their documentation even seems to mention buttons and options that I don't even see in the IDE anywhere...

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/viewing-changes-information.html#comparing_local_changes

Not that I have the Preview Diff button on the toolbar, but the documentation makes it sound like this is only a file-by-file option. To be clear, I would like the view identical to what I had in 2020.1 which had a summary of all files changed and you could click on each one to see the diff.

The local changes should be visible in the "Commit" pane (as opposed to the "Git" pane). Shortcut is Alt-0.

You can restore the old behavior in the settings: Version Control / Git / Use non-modal commit interface.
