Old: Automatic Publication Blackout Approval

This page describes a tool that automatically approves items from Publication Blackout into the archive once their associated article is published

Overview

This feature is accessed by a command-line tool, which is designed to run via cron on the server. It has no user interface.

To automatically lift eligible items from blackout, run the following command:
