Documented steps Run `npm deprecate <package-spec> <message>` while logged in as the package owner, e.g. npm deprecate mypkg@1.x '1.x is no longer supported'. Use a semver range to target multiple versions at once (ranges include prerelease versions). Warn users installing the package that it is deprecated. To undeprecate, pass an empty-string message with no space between the double quotes: npm deprecate mypkg@1.x ''. Verify with `npm view <name> deprecation` or check the package page.
Known gotchas You must be the package owner to deprecate; deprecation requires registry write permission (and --otp if 2FA is enforced on writes). Semver ranges passed to deprecate DO include prerelease versions - deprecating 1.x also deprecates 1.0.0-beta.0. The empty string for undeprecate must be written as two double quotes with no space, otherwise it is treated as a literal message. Prefer deprecate over unpublish when you want users to upgrade rather than to remove the package completely. Official docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/commands/npm-deprecate
