Hi there,

There are no additional features added, and you need to enable the legacy mode to implement the feature.

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.

Thank you.

I am new to Toolset so I feel a bit concerned about using the "legacy" part of it, is there any "side effects" of using the legacy mode?

Hi there,

The legacy mode is shortcode based instead of block editor based. But yes, it is a legacy feature and there will be no additional features added to that mode.

- Go to "Toolset > Settings > General".
- Find the "Editing experience" section.
- Check the "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" checkbox.
- Reload the browser page.
- Go to the newly added "Toolset > Views" menu.
- There you will be able to edit the views.

After that, you can use the documentation that you shared to create the messaging system.

Thanks.
