+=== The `ToggleToolbarDrawer` command's `skipFocus` option has been deprecated
+// #TINY-12044
+
+The `ToggleToolbarDrawer` command previously accepted a non-standard `skipFocus` option to prevent the editor from receiving focus when the command was executed. This behavior differed from other editor commands, which use the generic `skip_focus` option for the same purpose. As a result, the inconsistency lead to confusion when implementing or maintaining command logic.
+
+To resolve this, support for the standard `skip_focus` option has been added to the `ToggleToolbarDrawer` command. The `skipFocus` option is now **deprecated** in {productname} {release-version} and will be removed in a future release.
+
+.Before deprecation using the `skipFocus` option
+[source]
+----
+editor.execCommand('ToggleToolbarDrawer', false, { skipFocus: true });

+.After deprecation using the `skip_focus` option
+[source]
+----
+editor.execCommand('ToggleToolbarDrawer', false, null, { skip_focus: true });
+----
+
+This change improves consistency across commands and aligns with expected usage patterns in {productname} {release-version}.
