[//]: # (title: Internal API Migration)
Lists private API annotated with ApiStatus.Internal and corresponding replacement.
This page lists commonly used API annotated with [`org.jetbrains.annotations.ApiStatus.Internal`](https://github.com/JetBrains/java-annotations/blob/master/common/src/main/java/org/jetbrains/annotations/ApiStatus.java) which indicates it is _private API_ and must not be used outside of IntelliJ Platform itself:
> _`ApiStatus.Internal` Javadoc:_
>
> Indicates that the annotated element (class, method, field, etc.) **must not be considered as a public API**. It's made visible to allow
> usages in other packages of the declaring library, but it **must not be used outside of that library**. Such elements
> may be renamed, changed or removed in future versions.
Such violations are reported from [Plugin Verifier](api_changes_list.md#plugin-verifier) and are highlighted in the IDE using [dedicated inspection](api_changes_list.md#ide-support).
Each entry is mapped to its corresponding _Replacement_, pointing to recommended API.
> The list is not complete and will be updated continuously. Please check corresponding code documentation when encountering any API not listed below.
>
> In some cases, such documentation might not be available inside the IDE for the current target platform version. Please use Go to file to browse the latest version in the [intellij-community](https://github.com/jetbrains/intellij-community) GitHub repository instead.
>
> Please use the feedback form at the bottom of this page if you encounter missing or unclear information.
