Once you take control of your UI via YAML, the Home Assistant interface for modifying it won't be available anymore and new entities will not automatically be added to your UI.
When you make changes to `ui-lovelace.yaml`, you don't have to restart Home Assistant or refresh the page. Just hit the refresh button in the menu at the top of the UI.
-To revert back to using the UI to edit your Lovelace interface, remove the `lovelace` section from your `configuration.yaml` and copy the contents of your `ui-lovelace.yaml` into the raw configuration section of Home Assistant and restart.

-The old user interface relied solely on the state machine. This caused trouble as it meant that the state machine was now not only the source for device states, but also for user interface configuration. With Lovelace, we're taking a completely different approach. All user interface configuration will live in a separate file, controlled by the user.
