-				 * compatible with the new UI, however, the performance tests compare previous versions of the UI.
-				 *
-				 * The following code is a workaround to test the performance of the new UI.
-				 * `actionsButtonElement` is used to check if the old UI is present.
-				 * If there is a Replace template button (old UI), click it, otherwise, click the "transform into" button.
-				 * Once the performance tests are updated to compare compatible versions this code can be removed.
