But if you want to see the Enhanced form for the existing case record, then you have to set the enhanced form as the default form or set the form order of the enhanced form on top of the other forms.

Note: If the enhanced full case form has a higher form order than the default case form, agents might see the enhanced full case form even if you haven’t enabled the enhanced case experience. To enable agents to view the default case experience, adjust the form order of the enhanced form so that it is lower than the default form’s order..
