-### Register Custom Actions with the Legacy Backend System
-
-Once you have your Custom Action ready for usage with the scaffolder, you'll
-need to pass this into the `scaffolder-backend` `createRouter` function. You
-should have something similar to the below in
-`packages/backend/src/plugins/scaffolder.ts`
-
-```ts
-return await createRouter({
-  catalogClient,
-  logger: env.logger,
-  config: env.config,
-  database: env.database,
-  reader: env.reader,
-});
-```
-
-There's another property you can pass here, which is an array of `actions` which
-will set the available actions that the scaffolder has access to.
-
-```ts
-import { createBuiltinActions } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend';
-import { ScmIntegrations } from '@backstage/integration';
-import { createNewFileAction } from './scaffolder/actions/custom';
-
-export default async function createPlugin(
-  env: PluginEnvironment,
-): Promise<Router> {
-  const catalogClient = new CatalogClient({ discoveryApi: env.discovery });
-  const integrations = ScmIntegrations.fromConfig(env.config);
-
-  const builtInActions = createBuiltinActions({
-    integrations,
-    catalogClient,
-    config: env.config,
-    reader: env.reader,
-  });
-
-  const actions = [...builtInActions, createNewFileAction()];
-
-  return createRouter({
-    actions,
-    catalogClient: catalogClient,
-    logger: env.logger,
-    config: env.config,
