# Deprecation: #88651 - Replace TYPO3/CMS/Backend/SplitButtons with TYPO3/CMS/Backend/DocumentSaveActions {#deprecation-88651}

See [forge#88651](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/88651)

## Description {#description}

Since FormEngine doesn't use split buttons anymore with TYPO3 v9, the JavaScript module
`TYPO3/CMS/Backend/SplitButtons` has been replaced with `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/DocumentSaveActions`.

## Impact {#impact}

Loading `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/SplitButtons` will trigger a deprecation log entry in the browser's console.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

All 3rd party extensions using `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/SplitButtons` are affected.

## Migration {#migration}

Use `TYPO3/CMS/Backend/DocumentSaveActions` instead. Since the module is a singleton, the instance can be fetched by
calling `DocumentSaveActions.getInstance()`.
