# Deprecation: #91806 - BackendUtility viewOnClick

See [forge#91806](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/91806)

## Description

Method `BackendUtility::viewOnClick()` is discouraged to be used
due to its inline JavaScript and has been deprecated now.

## Impact

Using the method will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations

Extensions calling this static method will be affected. The extension
scanner will find usages as strong match.

## Migration

The `\TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Routing\PreviewUriBuilder` should be used
instead as described in
[Important: #91123 - Avoid using BackendUtility::viewOnClick](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/changelog:important-91123).
