How to swap between 3 embeds using buttons?

I would like to swap between 3 different embeds when a button is pressed. So say embed1 is displayed, then button2 would change it to embed2 and button3 would change it to embed3. Or if embed2 is displayed, then button1 would change it to embed1 and button3 would change it to embed3. But the button for the current embed is not displayed. I'm not sure on the fundamentals of how to do this so I would really appreciate it if I could have some skeleton code on how something like this would function. Thanks very much!

use the customId of the button and map it to the embed you want to display ex embed1, embed2

Yeah the part I am confused on is how to change the message to another embed once the button has been pressed

d.js docs•13mo ago

ButtonInteraction#update() Updates the original message of the component on which the interaction was received on.

I've got the embed updating once but I'm not sure what I need to do so they can switch back and forth multiple times Here's the skeleton code of what I have currently

const {
    SlashCommandBuilder,
    EmbedBuilder,
    ButtonBuilder,
    ButtonStyle,
    ActionRowBuilder,
} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("command")
        .setDescription("Test command"),

    async execute(interaction) {
        const embed1 = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Embed 1")
            .setColor("#e00000");

        const embed2 = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Embed 2")
            .setColor("#e00000");

        const button1 = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId("button1")
            .setLabel("Button 1")
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

        const button2 = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId("button2")
            .setLabel("Button 2")
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

        const row1 = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button2);

        const row2 = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button1);

        const response = await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [embed1],
            components: [row1],
        });

        const confirmation = await response.awaitMessageComponent();

        await confirmation.update({
            embeds: [embed2],
            components: [row2],
        });
    },
};

const {
    SlashCommandBuilder,
    EmbedBuilder,
    ButtonBuilder,
    ButtonStyle,
    ActionRowBuilder,
} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName("command")
        .setDescription("Test command"),

    async execute(interaction) {
        const embed1 = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Embed 1")
            .setColor("#e00000");

        const embed2 = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Embed 2")
            .setColor("#e00000");

        const button1 = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId("button1")
            .setLabel("Button 1")
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

        const button2 = new ButtonBuilder()
            .setCustomId("button2")
            .setLabel("Button 2")
            .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

        const row1 = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button2);

        const row2 = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(button1);

        const response = await interaction.reply({
            embeds: [embed1],
            components: [row1],
        });

        const confirmation = await response.awaitMessageComponent();

        await confirmation.update({
            embeds: [embed2],
            components: [row2],
        });
    },
};

use the non promisified collector

d.js docs•13mo ago

Message#createMessageComponentCollector() Creates a message component interaction collector.

I now have it swapping back and forth but each time I click the button it still says ... for 3s and interaction failed, makes me think I'm not "acknowledging" the interaction or something

you do have to reply to the interaction and you can replace the msg.edit with <Interaction>.update

That works perfectly, thank you very much for all your help
