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.
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.
