# \[LEGACY] Reply Actions

{% hint style="danger" %}
While the action blocks below are still available for use in all commands and events, they are considered old and have been replaced by the [send-or-edit-a-message](https://botghost.com/docs/custom-commands-and-events/actions/message-actions/send-or-edit-a-message "mention") action block. We advise you to use the [send-or-edit-a-message](https://botghost.com/docs/custom-commands-and-events/actions/message-actions/send-or-edit-a-message "mention") block instead, which offers more functionalities and possibilities for your message.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you cannot see the blocks below in your actions list, disable the [Hide Legacy Reply Actions](https://botghost.com/docs/command-and-event-builder/advanced-options#general) setting.
