 ## Switching back to the current compiler
 
 To stop using the Ivy compiler you need to undo the steps taken when [updating to use Ivy](#updating).
 - Set `enableIvy` to false in `tsconfig.app.json`, or remove it completely.
 - Add `"experimentalImportFactories": true` to your default build options in `angular.json` to support the import statement in `loadChildren` outside Ivy.
-- Remove `"aot": true` from your default build options if you didn't have it there before.
