+## :rescue_worker_helmet: Become a Maintainer
 
-At [NetBox Labs](https://netboxlabs.com/), we're always looking for highly skilled and motivated people to join our team. While NetBox is a core part of our product lineup, we have an ever-expanding suite of solutions serving the network automation space. Check out our [current openings](https://netboxlabs.com/careers/) to see if you might be a fit!
+We're always looking for motivated individuals to join the maintainers team and help drive NetBox's long-term development. Some of our most sought-after skills include:
+
+* Python development with a strong focus on the [Django](https://www.djangoproject.com/) framework
+* Expertise working with PostgreSQL databases
+* Javascript & TypeScript proficiency
+* A knack for web application design (HTML & CSS)
+* Familiarity with git and software development best practices
+* Excellent attention to detail
+* Working experience in the field of network operations & engineering
+
+We generally ask that maintainers dedicate around four hours of work to the project each week on average, which includes both hands-on development and project management tasks such as issue triage. Maintainers are also encouraged (but not required) to attend our bi-weekly Zoom call to catch up on recent items.
+
+Interested? You can contact our lead maintainer, Jeremy Stretch, at jeremy@netbox.dev or on the [NetDev Community Slack](https://netdev.chat/). We'd love to have you on the team!

+# Housekeeping
+
+NetBox includes a `housekeeping` management command that should be run nightly. This command handles:
+
+* Clearing expired authentication sessions from the database
+* Deleting changelog records older than the configured [retention time](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#changelog_retention)
+* Deleting job result records older than the configured [retention time](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#job_retention)
+* Check for new NetBox releases (if [`RELEASE_CHECK_URL`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#release_check_url) is set)
+
+This command can be invoked directly, or by using the shell script provided at `/opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.sh`.
+
+## Scheduling
+
+### Using Cron
+
+This script can be linked from your cron scheduler's daily jobs directory (e.g. `/etc/cron.daily`) or referenced directly within the cron configuration file.
+
+```shell
+sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.sh /etc/cron.daily/netbox-housekeeping
+```
+
+!!! note
+    On Debian-based systems, be sure to omit the `.sh` file extension when linking to the script from within a cron directory. Otherwise, the task may not run.
+
+### Using Systemd
+
+First, create symbolic links for the systemd service and timer files. Link the existing service and timer files from the `/opt/netbox/contrib/` directory to the `/etc/systemd/system/` directory:
+
+```bash
+sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.service /etc/systemd/system/netbox-housekeeping.service

+```
+
+Then, reload the systemd configuration and enable the timer to start automatically at boot:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now netbox-housekeeping.timer
+```
+
+Check the status of your timer by running:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl list-timers --all
+```
+
+This command will show a list of all timers, including your `netbox-housekeeping.timer`. Make sure the timer is active and properly scheduled.
+
+That's it! Your NetBox housekeeping service is now configured to run daily using systemd.

-# Modeling Pluggable Transceivers
-
-## Use Case
-
-Many network devices utilize field-swappable [small-form factor pluggable transceivers (SFPs)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_Form-factor_Pluggable) to enable changing the physical media type of a fixed interface. For example, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface might be connected using copper, multimode fiber, or single-mode fiber, each of which requires a different type of SFP+ transceiver.
-
-It can be challenging to model SFPs given their dynamic nature. This guide intends to capture the recommended strategy for modeling SFPs on NetBox v4.4 and later.
-
-## Modeling Strategy
-
-Pluggable transceivers are most accurately represented in NetBox as discrete [modules](../models/dcim/module.md) which are installed within [module bays](../models/dcim/modulebay.md). A module can deliver one or more [interfaces](../models/dcim/interface.md) (or other components) to the device in which it is installed. This approach ensures that a new interface is automatically created on the device when the module is installed, and deleted when the module is removed.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart BT
-    interface1[Interface 1/1]--> module1[SFP]
-    interface2[Interface 2/1]--> module2[SFP]
-    interface3[Interface 3/1] & interface4[Interface 3/2]--> module3[SFP]
-    module1 --> modulebay1[Module Bay 1]
-    module2 --> modulebay2[Module Bay 2]
-    module3 --> modulebay3[Module Bay 3]
-    modulebay1 & modulebay2 & modulebay3 --> device[Device]
-```
-
-### 1. Create an SFP Module Type Profile
-
-If one has not already been defined, create a [module type profile](../models/dcim/moduletypeprofile.md) for SFPs. This profile will be assigned for all module types which represent a pluggable transceiver. Typically, you will need only one profile for all pluggable transceivers.
-
-You might opt to define custom attributes for the profile by defining a custom [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/). Profile attributes might be used to define characteristics unique to transceivers, such as optical wavelength and power ranges. Adding profile attributes is optional, and can be done at a later point.
-
-!!! note
-    Creating a module type profile is optional, but recommended as it allows for defining custom module attributes.
-
-### 2. Create a Module Type for Each SFP Model in Inventory
-
-Next, create a [module type](../models/dcim/moduletype.md) to represent each unique SFP model present in your network. Each module type should define a manufacturer and a unique model name, and may also include a part number. For example, you might create a module type for each of the following transceivers:
-
-| Manufacturer | Model            | Media Type |
-|--------------|------------------|------------|
-| Cisco        | SFP-10G-SR       | 10GE MMF   |
-| Cisco        | SFP-10G-LR       | 10GE SMF   |
-| Juniper      | QFX-QSFP-40G-SR4 | 40GE MMF   |
-| Juniper      | JNP-QSFP-DAC-5M  | 40GE DAC   |
-
-### 3. Add an Interface to the Module Type
-
-After creating each module type, create an interface template on it to represent its physical interface. The definition of this interface template will depend on the transceiver's physical media type. (Reference the table above for examples.) When a new module is "installed" within a module bay on a device, its templated interface(s) will be automatically instantiated on that device as child interfaces of the module.
-
-Determining which name to use for the transceiver's interface can be tricky, as the interface name might depend on the type of device in which the SFP is installed. To avoid having to rename interfaces, consider using the `{module}` token in place of a static interface name. The interface's name will inherit the position of the bay in which its parent module is installed. If creating multiple interfaces on a module, be sure to append a unique ID (e.g. `{module}:1`) to ensure each interface gets assigned a unique name.
-
-### 4. Create Device Types
-
-If you haven't already, create a [device type](../models/dcim/devicetype.md) to represent each unique device model in your network.
-
-!!! note
-    Skip this step if you've already created the necessary device types.
-
-### 5. Add Module Bays to the Device Type
-
-Once you've created a device type, add the appropriate number of module bays on each device type to represent its SFP slots. For example, a Juniper QFX5110 would have module bays numbered `0/0/0` through `0/0/55`: 48 SFP+ bays and 8 QSFP28 bays (56 total).
-
-Be sure to define both the name **and position** of each module bay with a unique value. The module bay's position will be used to automatically name SFP interfaces.
-
-### 6. Create a Device
-
-Create a new device using the device type added in the previous step. The module bays (and any other components) defined on the device type will be instantiated on the new device automatically.
-
-!!! note
-    If you've already created the necessary devices in NetBox, you'll need to add their module bays manually. You can add multiple module bays at once by selecting the desired devices from the device list and selecting **Add Components > Module Bays** at the bottom of the page.
-
-### 7. Add the SFP Modules
-
-Finally, create each SFP in the new device by "installing" a new module of the appropriate type in each module bay. The interface(s) defined on the selected module type will be automatically populated on the new module. If present, the `{module}` token in the name of each interface template will be replaced with the position of the bay in which the module is being installed. For example, an interface template with the name `et-{module}` being created on a module installed in a bay with position `0/0/14` will create an interface named `et-0/0/14`.
-
-When adding many modules at once, you may find it helpful to utilize NetBox's bulk import functionality. This allows you to create many modules at once from CSV, JSON, or YAML data.

-## Server Configuration
-
-### WSGI Server Configuration
-
-NetBox operates as a [Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Server_Gateway_Interface) application, which sits behind a frontend HTTP server such as nginx or Apache. The HTTP server handles low-level HTTP request processing and serving static assets, and forwards application-level requests to NetBox via WSGI.
-
-A backend WSGI server (typically [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/) or [uWSGI](https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)) is responsible for running the NetBox application. This is accomplished by initializing a number of WSGI worker processes which accept WSGI requests relayed from the frontend HTTP server.
-
-Tuning your WSGI server is crucial to realizing optimal performance from NetBox. Below are some recommended configuration parameters.
-
-#### Provision Multiple Workers
-
-General guidance is to set the number of worker processes to double the number of CPU cores available, plus one (`2 * CPUs + 1`).
-
-#### Limit the Worker Lifetime
-
-Set a maximum number of requests that a worker can service before being respawned. This helps protect against potential memory leaks.
-
-#### Set a Request Timeout
-
-Limit the time a worker may spend processing any request. This prevents a long-running request from tying up a worker beyond an acceptable threshold. We suggest a limit of 120 seconds as a reasonable safeguard.
-
-#### Bind Using a Unix Socket
-
-When running the HTTP frontend and WSGI server on the same machine, binding via a Unix socket (instead of a TCP socket) may yield slight performance gains.

-NetBox ships with a reasonable default configuration for most environments, but administrators are encouraged to explore all the [available parameters](../configuration/index.md) to tune their installation. Some of the most notable parameters impacting performance are called out below.
-
-#### Reduce the Maximum Page Size
-
-NetBox paginates large result sets to reduce the overall response size. The [`MAX_PAGE_SIZE`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#max_page_size) parameter specifies the maximum number of results per page that a client can request. This is set to 1,000 by default. Consider lowering this number if you find that API clients are frequently requesting very large result sets.
-
-#### Limit GraphQL Aliases
-
-By default, NetBox restricts a GraphQL query to 10 aliases. Consider reducing this number by setting [`GRAPHQL_MAX_ALIASES`](../configuration/graphql-api.md#graphql_max_aliases) to a lower value.
-
-#### Designate Isolated Deployments
-
-If your NetBox installation does not have Internet access, set [`ISOLATED_DEPLOYMENT`](../configuration/system.md#isolated_deployment) to True. This will prevent the application from attempting routine external requests.
-
-#### Reduce Sentry Sampling
-
-If [Sentry](https://sentry.io/) has been enabled for error reporting and analytics, consider lowering its sampling rate. This can be accomplished by modifying the values for `sample_rate` and `traces_sample_rate` under [`SENTRY_CONFIG`](../configuration/error-reporting.md#sentry_config).
-
-#### Remove Unneeded Event Handlers
-
-Check whether any custom event handlers have been added under [`EVENTS_PIPELINE`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#events_pipeline). Remove any that are no longer needed.
-
-### Background Task Workers
-
-NetBox defers the execution of certain tasks to background workers via Redis queues serviced by one or more background workers. These workers operate asynchronously from the frontend WSGI workers, and process tasks in the order they are enqueued.
-
-NetBox creates three default queues for background tasks: `high`, `default`, and `low`. Additional queues can be configured via the [`QUEUE_MAPPINGS`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#queue_mappings) configuration parameter.
-
-By default, a background worker (spawned via `manage.py rqworker`) will listen to all available queues. To improve responsiveness to high-priority background tasks, consider dedicating one or more workers to service the `high` queue only:
-
-```
-$ ./manage.py rqworker high
-19:31:20 Worker 861be45b32214afc95c235beeb19c9fa: started with PID 2300029, version 2.6.0

-
-## API Clients
-
-### REST API
-
-NetBox's [REST API](../integrations/rest-api.md) is the primary means of integration with external systems, allowing full create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. There are a few performance considerations to keep in mind when dealing with very large data sets.
-
-#### Use "Brief" Mode for Simple Lists
-
-In cases where you need to retrieve only a minimal representation of objects, append `?brief=True` to the URL. This instructs NetBox to omit all fields except the following:
-
-* ID
-* URL
-* Display text
-* Name (or similar identifier)
-* Slug (if present)
-* Description
-* Counts of notable related objects (where applicable)
-
-For example, a site fetched using brief mode returns only the following:
-
-```json
-{
-    "id": 2,
-    "url": "https://netbox/api/dcim/sites/2/",
-    "display": "DM-Akron",
-    "name": "DM-Akron",
-    "slug": "dm-akron",
-    "description": ""
-}
-```
-
-Omitting all other fields (especially those which fetch and return related objects) often results in much faster queries.
-
-#### Declare Selected Fields
-
-If you need more flexibility regarding the fields to be returned for an object type, you can specify a list of fields to include using the `fields` query parameter. For example, a request for `/api/dcim/sites/?fields=id,name,status,region` will return the following:
-
-```json
-{
-    "id": 2,
-    "name": "DM-Akron",
-    "status": {
-        "value": "active",
-        "label": "Active"
-    },
-    "region": {
-        "id": 51,
-        "url": "https://netbox/api/dcim/regions/51/",
-        "display": "Ohio",
-        "name": "Ohio",
-        "slug": "us-oh",
-        "description": "",
-        "site_count": 0,
-        "_depth": 2
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Like brief mode, this approach can significantly reduce the response time of an API request by omitting unneeded data.
-
-#### Employ Pagination
-
-Like the user interface, the REST API employs pagination to limit the number of objects returned in a single response. If a page size is not specified by the request (i.e. by passing `?limit=10`), NetBox will use the default size defined by [`PAGINATE_COUNT`](../configuration/default-values.md#paginate_count). The default page size is 50.
-
-For some requests, especially those using brief mode or a minimal selection of fields, it may be desirable to specify a higher page size, so that fewer requests are needed to retrieve all objects. Appending `?limit=0` to the request effectively seeks to disable pagination. (Note, however, that the requested page size cannot exceed the value of [`MAX_PAGE_SIZE`](../configuration/miscellaneous.md#max_page_size), which defaults to 1,000.)
-
-Complex API requests, which pull in many related objects, generate a relatively high load on the application, and generally benefit from reduced page size. If you find that your API requests are taking an inordinate amount of time, try reducing the page size from the default value so that fewer objects need to be returned for each request.
-
-### GraphQL API
-
-NetBox's read-only [GraphQL API](../integrations/graphql-api.md) offers an alternative to its REST API, and provides a very flexible means of retrieving data. GraphQL enables the client to request any object from a single endpoint, specifying only the desired attributes and relations. Many users prefer this to the more rigid structure of the REST API, but it's important to understand the trade-offs of crafting complex queries.
-
-#### Request Only the Necessary Fields
-
-For optimal performance, craft your GraphQL queries to return only the fields needed by the client. This will reduce the overall query time, especially when omitting related objects.
-
-#### Avoid Overly Complex Queries
-
-The primary benefit of the GraphQL API is that it allows the client to offload to the server the work of stitching together various related objects, which would require the client to make multiple requests to different endpoints if using the REST API. However, this advantage does not come for free: The more information that is requested in a single query, the more work the server needs to do to fetch the raw data from the database and render it into a GraphQL response. Very complex queries can yield dozens or hundreds of SQL queries on the backend, which increase the time it takes to render a response.
-
-While it can be tempting to pack as much data as possible into a single GraphQL query, realize that there is a balance to be struck between minimizing the number of queries needed and avoiding complexity in the interest of performance. For example, while it is possible to retrieve via a single GraphQL API request all the IP addresses and all attached cables for every device in a site, it is probably more efficient (often _much_ more efficient) to make two or three separate requests and correlate the data locally.
-
-#### Use Filters
-
-You can specify filters when making a GraphQL query to limit the set of objects returned. This works a bit differently from the REST API, as filters are declared inside the query statement rather than appended to the URL, but the concept is the same. For example, to return only active sites:
-
-```graphql
-query {
-  site_list(
-    filters: {
-      status: STATUS_ACTIVE
-    }
-  ) {
-    name
-  }
-}
-```
-
-This returns only sites with a status of "active" and avoid needing to parse through all the others. For further information about filters, see the [GraphQL API documentation](../integrations/graphql-api.md).
-
-#### Employ Pagination
-
-Like the REST API, the GraphQL API supports pagination. Queries which return a large number of objects should employ pagination to limit the size of each response.
-
-```graphql
-{
-  device_list(
-    pagination: {limit: 100}
-  ) {
-    id
-    name
-    serial
-    status
-  }
-}
-```

-## API_TOKEN_PEPPERS
-
-!!! info "This parameter was introduced in NetBox v4.5."
-
-[Cryptographic peppers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_(cryptography)) are employed to generate hashes of sensitive values on the server. This parameter defines the peppers used to hash v2 API tokens in NetBox. You must define at least one pepper before creating a v2 API token. See the [API documentation](../integrations/rest-api.md#authentication) for further information about how peppers are used.
-
-```python
-API_TOKEN_PEPPERS = {
-    # DO NOT USE THIS EXAMPLE PEPPER IN PRODUCTION
-    1: 'kp7ht*76fiQAhUi5dHfASLlYUE_S^gI^(7J^K5M!LfoH@vl&b_',
-}
-```
-
-!!! warning "Peppers are sensitive"
-    Treat pepper values as extremely sensitive. Consider populating peppers from environment variables at initialization time rather than defining them in the configuration file, if feasible. 
-
-Peppers must be at least 50 characters in length and should comprise a random string with a diverse character set. Consider using the Python script at `$INSTALL_ROOT/netbox/generate_secret_key.py` to generate a pepper value.
-
-It is recommended to start with a pepper ID of `1`. Additional peppers can be introduced later as needed to begin rotating token hashes.
-
-!!! tip
-    Although NetBox will run without `API_TOKEN_PEPPERS` defined, the use of v2 API tokens will be unavailable.

-### Environment Variables and Third-Party Libraries
-
-NetBox uses an explicit Python configuration approach rather than automatic environment variable detection. While this provides clear configuration management and version control capabilities, it affects how some third-party libraries like `django-storages` function within NetBox's context.
-
-Many Django libraries (including `django-storages`) expect to automatically detect environment variables like `AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME` or `AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`. However, NetBox's configuration processing prevents this automatic detection from working as documented in some of these libraries.
-
-When using third-party libraries that rely on environment variable detection, you may need to explicitly read environment variables in your NetBox `configuration.py`:
-
-```python
-import os
-
-STORAGES = {
-    'default': {
-        'BACKEND': 'storages.backends.s3.S3Storage',
-        'OPTIONS': {
-            'bucket_name': os.environ.get('AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME'),
-            'access_key': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
-            'secret_key': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
-            'endpoint_url': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL'),
-            'location': 'media/',
-        }
-    },
-    'staticfiles': {
-        'BACKEND': 'storages.backends.s3.S3Storage',
-        'OPTIONS': {
-            'bucket_name': os.environ.get('AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME'),
-            'access_key': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
-            'secret_key': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
-            'endpoint_url': os.environ.get('AWS_S3_ENDPOINT_URL'),
-            'location': 'static/',
-        }
-    },
-}
-```
-
-This approach works because the environment variables are resolved during NetBox's configuration processing, before the third-party library attempts its own environment variable detection.
-
-!!! warning "Configuration Behavior"
-    Simply setting environment variables like `AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME` without explicitly reading them in your configuration will not work. The variables must be read using `os.environ.get()` within your `configuration.py` file.

 ## Filtering

-Filters can be specified as key-value pairs within parentheses immediately following the query name. For example, the following will return only active sites:
+The GraphQL API employs the same filtering logic as the UI and REST API. Filters can be specified as key-value pairs within parentheses immediately following the query name. For example, the following will return only sites within the North Carolina region with a status of active:
 
 ```
 query {

-      status: STATUS_ACTIVE
-    }
-  ) {
+  site_list(filters: {region: "us-nc", status: "active"}) {
     name
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Filters can be combined with logical operators, such as `OR` and `NOT`. For example, the following will return every site that is planned _or_ assigned to a tenant named Foo:
+In addition, filtering can be done on list of related objects as shown in the following query:
 
 ```
-query {
-  site_list(
-    filters: {
-      status: STATUS_PLANNED,
-      OR: {

-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  ) {
-    name
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Filtering can also be applied to related objects. For example, the following query will return only enabled interfaces for each device:

 The field "class_type" is an easy way to distinguish what type of object it is when viewing the returned data, or when filtering.  It contains the class name, for example "CircuitTermination" or "ConsoleServerPort".
 
-## Pagination
-
-Queries can be paginated by specifying pagination in the query and supplying an offset and optionaly a limit in the query.  If no limit is given, a default of 100 is used.  Queries are not paginated unless requested in the query. An example paginated query is shown below:
-
-```
-query {
-  device_list(pagination: { offset: 0, limit: 20 }) {

-
-!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.4."
-
-Most objects in NetBox support [change logging](../features/change-logging.md), which generates a detailed record each time an object is created, modified, or deleted. Beginning in NetBox v4.4, users can attach a message to the change record as well. This is accomplished via the REST API by including a `changelog_message` field in the object representation.
-
-For example, the following API request will create a new site and record a message in the resulting changelog entry:
-
-```no-highlight
-curl -s -X POST \
--H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \
--H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-
-This approach works when creating, modifying, or deleting objects, either individually or in bulk.
-
-## Uploading Files
-
-As JSON does not support the inclusion of binary data, files cannot be uploaded using JSON-formatted API requests. Instead, we can use form data encoding to attach a local file.

-For example, we can upload an image attachment using the `curl` command shown below. Note that the `@` signifies a local file on disk to be uploaded.

 ## Authentication
 
 The NetBox REST API primarily employs token-based authentication. For convenience, cookie-based authentication can also be used when navigating the browsable API.
 
 ### Tokens
 
-A token is a secret, unique identifier mapped to a NetBox user account. Each user may have one or more tokens which he or she can use for authentication when making REST API requests. To create a token, navigate to the API tokens page under your user profile. When creating a token, NetBox will automatically populate a randomly-generated token value.
-
-!!! note "Tokens cannot be retrieved once created"
-    Once a token has been created, its plaintext value cannot be retrieved. For this reason, you must take care to securely record the token locally immediately upon its creation. If a token plaintext is lost, it cannot be recovered: A new token must be created.
+A token is a unique identifier mapped to a NetBox user account. Each user may have one or more tokens which he or she can use for authentication when making REST API requests. To create a token, navigate to the API tokens page under your user profile.
 
 By default, all users can create and manage their own REST API tokens under the user control panel in the UI or via the REST API. This ability can be disabled by overriding the [`DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS`](../configuration/security.md#default_permissions) configuration parameter.
 
+Each token contains a 160-bit key represented as 40 hexadecimal characters. When creating a token, you'll typically leave the key field blank so that a random key will be automatically generated. However, NetBox allows you to specify a key in case you need to restore a previously deleted token to operation.
+
 Additionally, a token can be set to expire at a specific time. This can be useful if an external client needs to be granted temporary access to NetBox.
 
-#### v1 and v2 Tokens
+!!! info "Restricting Token Retrieval"
+    The ability to retrieve the key value of a previously-created API token can be restricted by disabling the [`ALLOW_TOKEN_RETRIEVAL`](../configuration/security.md#allow_token_retrieval) configuration parameter.
 
-Beginning with NetBox v4.5, two versions of API token are supported, denoted as v1 and v2. Users are strongly encouraged to create only v2 tokens and to discontinue the use of v1 tokens. Support for v1 tokens will be removed in a future NetBox release.
-
-v2 API tokens offer much stronger security. The token plaintext given at creation time is hashed together with a configured [cryptographic pepper](../configuration/required-parameters.md#api_token_peppers) to generate a unique checksum. This checksum is irreversible; the token plaintext is never stored on the server and thus cannot be retrieved even with database-level access.
-
-#### Restricting Write Operations
+### Restricting Write Operations
 
 By default, a token can be used to perform all actions via the API that a user would be permitted to do via the web UI. Deselecting the "write enabled" option will restrict API requests made with the token to read operations (e.g. GET) only.

 ### Authenticating to the API

 # MAC Addresses
 
+!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."

 A MAC address object in NetBox comprises a single Ethernet link layer address, and represents a MAC address as reported by or assigned to a network interface. MAC addresses can be assigned to [device](../dcim/device.md) and [virtual machine](../virtualization/virtualmachine.md) interfaces. A MAC address can be specified as the primary MAC address for a given device or VM interface.
 
 Most interfaces have only a single MAC address, hard-coded at the factory.

+# Staged Changes
+
+!!! danger "Deprecated Feature"
+    This feature has been deprecated in NetBox v4.2 and will be removed in a future release. Please consider using the [netbox-branching plugin](https://github.com/netboxlabs/netbox-branching), which provides much more robust functionality.
+
+A staged change represents the creation of a new object or the modification or deletion of an existing object to be performed at some future point. Each change must be assigned to a [branch](./branch.md).
+
+Changes can be applied individually via the `apply()` method, however it is recommended to apply changes in bulk using the parent branch's `commit()` method.
+
+## Fields
+
+!!! warning
+    Staged changes are not typically created or manipulated directly, but rather effected through the use of the [`checkout()`](../../plugins/development/staged-changes.md) context manager.
+
+### Branch
+
+The [branch](./branch.md) to which this change belongs.
+
+### Action
+
+The type of action this change represents: `create`, `update`, or `delete`.
+
+### Object
+
+A generic foreign key referencing the existing object to which this change applies.
+
+### Data
+
+JSON representation of the changes being made to the object (not applicable for deletions).

-# Table Configs
-
-This object represents the saved configuration of an object table in NetBox. Table configs can be crafted, saved, and shared among users to apply specific views within object lists. Each table config can specify which table columns to display, the order in which to display them, and which columns are used for sorting.
-
-For example, you might wish to create a table config for the devices list to assist in inventory tasks. This view might show the device name, location, serial number, and asset tag, but omit operational details like IP addresses. Once applied, this table config can be saved for reuse in future audits.
-
-!!! note
-    Per‑user table preferences (columns and ordering remembered for an individual user) are distinct from Table Configs. If a list view fails to render due to outdated saved preferences, see [Clearing table preferences](../../features/user-preferences.md#clearing-table-preferences).

 This model represents an arbitrary range of individual IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, inclusive of its starting and ending addresses. For instance, the range 192.0.2.10 to 192.0.2.20 has eleven members. (The total member count is available as the `size` property on an IPRange instance.) Like [prefixes](./prefix.md) and [IP addresses](./ipaddress.md), each IP range may optionally be assigned to a [VRF](./vrf.md).
 
-Each IP range can be marked as populated, which instructs NetBox to treat the range as though every IP address within it has been created (even though these individual IP addresses don't actually exist in the database). This can be helpful in scenarios where the management of a subset of IP addresses has been deferred to an external system of record, such as a DHCP server. NetBox will prohibit the creation of individual IP addresses within a range that has been marked as populated.
-
-An IP range can also be marked as utilized. This will cause its utilization to always be reported as 100% when viewing the range or when calculating the utilization of a parent prefix. (If not enabled, a range's utilization is calculated based on the number of IP addresses which have been created within it.)
-
-Typically, IP ranges marked as populated should also be marked as utilized, although there may be scenarios where this is undesirable (e.g. when reclaiming old IP space). An IP range which has been marked as populated but _not_ marked as utilized will always report a utilization of 0%, as it cannot contain child IP addresses.

 # VLAN Translation Policies
 
+!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
+
 VLAN translation is a feature that consists of VLAN translation policies and [VLAN translation rules](./vlantranslationrule.md). Many rules can belong to a policy, and each rule defines a mapping of a local to remote VLAN ID (VID). A policy can then be assigned to an [Interface](../dcim/interface.md) or [VMInterface](../virtualization/vminterface.md), and all VLAN translation rules associated with that policy will be visible in the interface details.
 
 There are uniqueness constraints on `(policy, local_vid)` and on `(policy, remote_vid)` in the `VLANTranslationRule` model. Thus, you cannot have multiple rules linked to the same policy that have the same local VID or the same remote VID. A set of policies and rules might look like this:
