How to record commands in DW 2021?

I have recently decided to try to automate some tasks and went to look for the History panel and see that it has been removed since v 2017. I have a sequence of 10 search and replace operations that I need to run on a regular basis that would be perfect for a command.
How do I record Commands now?

    As you say, Macros are gone. 

    Use Advanced Find & Replace panel (Ctrl +Shift +F). 

    Click the funnel icon for Regular Expression queries. 

    Use icons to the left for Save & Load queries.

     

     

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks but it doesn't help. I already have a sequence of 10 saved regex queries that I have to run manually. I was just confirming that yet another useful feature has been removed from DW.
