# Deprecation: #62800 - Workspaces ToolbarItem via ExtDirect {#deprecation-62800-workspaces-toolbaritem-via-extdirect}

See [forge#62800](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/62800)

## Description {#description}

The PHP functionality for switching a workspace was done with the ExtDirect call `TYPO3.Ajax.ExtDirect.ToolbarMenu`
until now. This has been replaced by a simple AJAX JSON call, based on jQuery and the refactored ToolbarItem Menu for
the workspaces module.

## Impact {#impact}

The core does not use this functionality anymore, and also removed the ExtDirect registration for this class.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

All installations which directly used the ExtDirect `TYPO3.Ajax.ExtDirect.ToolbarMenu` to fetch the data.

## Migration {#migration}

Use the new AjaxHandler `Workspaces::setWorkspace()` directly instead.
