| API removed            | Description                                                     |

| `deleteQueueItem`      | Delete an item from the Commit Queue.                           |
| `lockQueueItem`        | Lock an item in the Commit Queue.                               |

### What should I do?

Use the NSO native UI for managing commit queues. Cisco NSO includes a built-in commit queues tool for managing a large number of device changes with higher transactional throughput.
