How can I switch the build configuration from "Debug" to "Release" in JetBrains IDE Rider with the new UI?

I have configured two build configurations in my solution file like so:

Global
    GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
        Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
        Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU
    EndGlobalSection

In the old Rider UI, it was really easy to switch between the two:

However, since turning on the in the new UI (which is still in Beta right now), this dropdown is missing and I can't find a way to change the build configuration. How can I do this?

Solution

  • Go to Build → Change Solution configuration...:

    In the following dialog, you can choose the build configuration:

    You can also click Show Configuration on Toolbar to bring it back to the toolbar.

    Edit: With the latest version of Rider 2023.1 (tested with Build #RD-231.8109.212, built on April 4, 2023), the toolbar now shows up as expected: enter image description here
