# Legacy editors
Legacy editors are still available but have been replaced by better alternatives. Consider using one of the [modern editors](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4306/explore-analyze/visualize) offered in Elastic such as **Lens**.
<note>
  Legacy panel types only appear in the **Add panel** dashboard menu if you already have such panels in your dashboards. If you have never used these panel types, use Lens instead.
</note>

The legacy editors are:
- [Aggregation-based](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4306/explore-analyze/visualize/legacy-editors/aggregation-based)
- [TSVB](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4306/explore-analyze/visualize/legacy-editors/tsvb)
- [Timelion](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/pull/4306/explore-analyze/visualize/legacy-editors/timelion)
