As a bonus action, the user can have the staff extend of retract from five to ten feet. Extending the staff gives it a reach of 10 feet but requires two hands to make attacks with. While extended, you can use the staff as if it was also a 10 foot pole. Regardless if retracted or extended, this always ways 2 pounds. The staff has +2 to attack and damage rolls.

Shoving as a bonus action: You can use the power of your staff to attempt to shove a creature 5 feet away from you. The target must beat a 15 in either (DEX) Acrobatics or (STR) Athletics to resist being shoved. You can only use this ability if your staff is retracted, the target is in melee range of you and is only one size larger than you or smaller.
