-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!
+At [NetBox Labs](https://netboxlabs.com/), we're always looking for highly skilled and motivated people to join our team.

 ### Enabling Error Reporting

-# 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
-sudo ln -s /opt/netbox/contrib/netbox-housekeeping.timer /etc/systemd/system/netbox-housekeeping.timer
-```
-
-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.

 ## Correlating Changes by Request
 
 Every request made to NetBox is assigned a random unique ID that can be used to correlate change records. For example, if you change the status of three sites using the UI's bulk edit feature, you will see three new change records (one for each site) all referencing the same request ID. This shows that all three changes were made as part of the same request.

 !!! note
     The bulk deletion of objects is an all-or-none operation, meaning that if NetBox fails to delete any of the specified objects (e.g. due a dependency by a related object), the entire operation will be aborted and none of the objects will be deleted.
 
+## Changelog Messages
+
+!!! 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" \
+http://netbox/api/dcim/sites/ \
+--data '{
+    "name": "Site A",
+    "slug": "site-a",
+    "changelog_message": "Adding a site for ticket #4137"
+}'
+```
+
+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.
+
+```no-highlight
+curl -X POST \
+-H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \

 # 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. However, on some devices (particularly virtual interfaces) it is possible to assign additional MAC addresses or change existing ones. For this reason NetBox allows multiple MACAddress objects to be assigned to a single interface.

+# 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.
+
+## Fields

+### Name
+
+A human-friendly name for the table config.

+### User
+
+The user to which this filter belongs. The current user will be assigned automatically when saving a table config via the UI, and cannot be changed.

+
+The name of the specific table to which the table config pertains. (Some NetBox object use multiple tables.)
+
+### Weight
+
+A numeric weight used to influence the order in which table configs are listed. Table configs with a lower weight will be listed before those with a higher weight. Table configs having the same weight will be ordered alphabetically.

+Determines whether this table config is intended for use by all users or only its owner. Note that deselecting this option does **not** hide the table config from other users; it is merely excluded from the list of available table configs in UI object list views.
+
+### Ordering
+
+A list of column names by which the table is to be ordered. If left blank, the table's default ordering will be used.
+
+### Columns
+
+A list of columns to be displayed in the table. The table will render these columns in the order they appear in the list. At least one column must be selected.

 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:

 ### Scheduled Jobs
 
 As described above, jobs can be scheduled for immediate execution or at any later time using the `enqueue()` method. However, for management purposes, the `enqueue_once()` method allows a job to be scheduled exactly once avoiding duplicates. If a job is already scheduled for a particular instance, a second one won't be scheduled, respecting thread safety. An example use case would be to schedule a periodic task that is bound to an instance in general, but not to any event of that instance (such as updates). The parameters of the `enqueue_once()` method are identical to those of `enqueue()`.

 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.
