 * It's very important that you not submit a pull request until a relevant issue has been opened **and** assigned to you. Otherwise, you risk wasting time on work that may ultimately not be needed.
 
-* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `develop` branch, rather than `master`. The `develop` branch is used for ongoing development, while `master` is used for tracking stable releases. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
+* New pull requests should generally be based off of the `main` branch. This branch, in keeping with the [trunk-based development](https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/) approach, is used for ongoing development and bug fixes and always represents the newest stable code, from which releases are periodically branched. (If you're developing for an upcoming minor release, use `feature` instead.)
 
 * In most cases, it is not necessary to add a changelog entry: A maintainer will take care of this when the PR is merged. (This helps avoid merge conflicts resulting from multiple PRs being submitted simultaneously.)

+# Google
+
+This guide explains how to configure single sign-on (SSO) support for NetBox using [Google OAuth2](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server) as an authentication backend.
+
+## Google OAuth2 Configuration
+
+1. Log into [console.cloud.google.com](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
+2. Create new project for NetBox.
+3. Under "APIs and Services" click "OAuth consent screen" and enter the required information.
+4. Under "Credentials," click "Create Credentials" and select "OAuth 2.0 Client ID." Select type "Web application."
+    - "Authorized JavaScript origins" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]`
+    - "Authorized redirect URIs" should follow the format `http[s]://<netbox>[:<port>]/oauth/complete/google-oauth2/`
+5. Copy the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" values somewhere convenient.
+
+!!! note
+    Google requires the NetBox hostname to use a public top-level-domain (e.g. `.com`, `.net`). The use of IP addresses is not permitted (except `127.0.0.1`).
+
+For more information, consult [Google's documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/web-server#prerequisites).
+
+## NetBox Configuration
+
+### 1. Enter configuration parameters
+
+Enter the following configuration parameters in `configuration.py`, substituting your own values:
+
+```python
+REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND = 'social_core.backends.google.GoogleOAuth2'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_KEY = '{CLIENT_ID}'
+SOCIAL_AUTH_GOOGLE_OAUTH2_SECRET = '{CLIENT_SECRET}'
+```
+
+### 2. Restart NetBox
+
+Restart the NetBox services so that the new configuration takes effect. This is typically done with the command below:
+
+```no-highlight
+sudo systemctl restart netbox
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Log out of NetBox if already authenticated, and click the "Log In" button at top right. You should see the normal login form as well as an option to authenticate using Google. Click that link.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/netbox_google_login.png)
+
+You should be redirected to Google's authentication portal. Enter the username/email and password of your test account to continue. You may also be prompted to grant this application access to your account.
+
+![NetBox Google login form](../../media/authentication/google_login_portal.png)
+
+If successful, you will be redirected back to the NetBox UI, and will be logged in as the Google user. You can verify this by navigating to your profile (using the button at top right).
+
+This user account has been replicated locally to NetBox, and can now be assigned groups and permissions.

+NetBox uses [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/) to automatically validate code when commiting new changes. This includes the following operations:
+
+* Run the `ruff` Python linter
+* Run Django's internal system check
+* Check for missing database migrations
+* Validate any changes to the documentation with `mkdocs`
+* Validate Typescript & Sass styling with `yarn`
+* Ensure that any modified static front end assets have been recompiled
+
+Enable `pre-commit` with the following commands _prior_ to commiting any changes:
+
+```no-highlight
+python -m pip install ruff pre-commit

+
+You may also need to set up the yarn packages as shown in the [Web UI Development Guide](web-ui.md).

+# 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:
+
+Policy 1:
+- Rule: 100 -> 200
+- Rule: 101 -> 201
+
+Policy 2:
+- Rule: 100 -> 300

 # Background Jobs
 
-!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.1."
-
 NetBox plugins can defer certain operations by enqueuing [background jobs](../../features/background-jobs.md), which are executed asynchronously by background workers. This is helpful for decoupling long-running processes from the user-facing request-response cycle.
 
 For example, your plugin might need to fetch data from a remote system. Depending on the amount of data and the responsiveness of the remote server, this could take a few minutes. Deferring this task to a queued job ensures that it can be completed in the background, without interrupting the user. The data it fetches can be made available once the job has completed.
@@ -29,6 +27,9 @@ class MyTestJob(JobRunner):
 
 You can schedule the background job from within your code (e.g. from a model's `save()` method or a view) by calling `MyTestJob.enqueue()`. This method passes through all arguments to `Job.enqueue()`. However, no `name` argument must be passed, as the background job name will be used instead.
 
+!!! tip

+### System Jobs
+
+!!! info "This feature was introduced in NetBox v4.2."
+
+Some plugins may implement background jobs that are decoupled from the request/response cycle. Typical use cases would be housekeeping tasks or synchronization jobs. These can be registered as _system jobs_ using the `system_job()` decorator. The job interval must be passed as an integer (in minutes) when registering a system job. System jobs are scheduled automatically when the RQ worker (`manage.py rqworker`) is run.

+#### Example
+
 ```python title="jobs.py"
-from netbox.jobs import JobRunner
-
+from core.choices import JobIntervalChoices
+from netbox.jobs import JobRunner, system_job

+# Specify a predefined choice or an integer indicating

     def run(self, *args, **kwargs):
-        # your logic goes here
+        MyModel.objects.filter(foo='bar').delete()
 ```
 
-```python title="__init__.py"
-from netbox.plugins import PluginConfig
+!!! note
+    Ensure that any system jobs are imported on initialization. Otherwise, they won't be registered. This can be achieved by extending the PluginConfig's `ready()` method. For example:

 # Staged Changes
 
-!!! danger "Experimental Feature"
-    This feature is still under active development and considered experimental in nature. Its use in production is strongly discouraged at this time.
+!!! 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.
 
 NetBox provides a programmatic API to stage the creation, modification, and deletion of objects without actually committing those changes to the active database. This can be useful for performing a "dry run" of bulk operations, or preparing a set of changes for administrative approval, for example.

 Additionally, a `render()` method is available for convenience. This method accepts the name of a template to render, and any additional context data you want to pass. Its use is optional, however.
 
 To control where the custom content is injected, plugin authors can specify an iterable of models by overriding the `models` attribute on the subclass. Extensions which do not specify a set of models will be invoked on every view, where supported.
