# Add action button in Legal Counsel Center Classic to create legal request

Add a declarative action button in the Legal Counsel Center Classic to easily create a legal request from the workspace and resolve a request without navigating to the Legal Service Portal.

## Before you begin

Important:  
* The legacy Legal Counsel Center was renamed as Legal Counsel Center Classic.
* Legal Counsel Center Classic is being prepared for deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer available for activation for new customers but will continue to work and be supported for existing customers. For enhanced workspace experience, use [Legal Counsel Center](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PuznEciSMVnngsAnqAt2YQ "The Legal Counsel Center is the next experience Workspace that enables the legal department members to work with actionable widgets to quickly categorize, prioritize, and efficiently resolve legal issues."). For details, see the Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\] article in the Now Support knowledge base.
* If you are upgrading Legal Counsel Center Classic to the latest Xanadu release versions, make sure you have first upgraded it to the Washington DC release version of 6.3.8 or 6.4.1.
* If you are using Legal Counsel Center Classic and want to upgrade to the Xanadu family release, ensure you upgrade to the Washington DC release first.
