All the settings of the OER Harvester are moved to a new subtab 'Publishing' in the LOM Administration, along with a 'Enable publishing' multiselect with the options 'Manual' and 'Automatic', and the OAI-PMH settings.

If 'Automatic' is not selected, the OER Harvester cron job does not harvest/publish objects, but only cleans up when objects are e.g. manually deleted from the Publishing Category, or their copyright is changed to an ineligible one.

Further, instead of 'Category for Harvested OER Content', there is a checkbox 'Enable Editorial Step', with a selection of the 'Editorial Category' as a subinput. This should make the intention behind choosing different categories for harvesting and publishing much clearer.

Above the form, a message box is shown to inform the user that both copyright selection and the OER Harvester need to be enabled for publishing to work, and displays their status along with a link to the cron job administration.

Note that the default copyright (pre-installed as 'All rights reserved') is removed from the Copyright Selection, since the default copyright should never be appropriate for OER.

If publishing is enabled (either 'Manual' or 'Automatic' or both), the LOM Digest screen of eligible objects (i.e. harvestable by the OER Harvester) should offer a 'OER Publishing'-button, with the current publishing status of the object in its label. This button opens a modal showing the status as a scale bar graph, along with an info message box:

Additionally, different actions depending on the context are offered. For the case of only automatic publishing without an editorial step:

The Block action is offered for unpublished objects, and only if automatic publishing is enabled. Blocking an object has the same effect as previously enabling the 'Ignored by OER Harvester' checkbox. The checkbox is removed.

The Unblock action is offered for blocked objects, and reverts a previous blocking. This is the only action offered for blocked objects.

The Withdraw action is offered for published objects, and reverts the status of the object to Blocked if automatic publishing is enabled, else to Unpublished. This includes its references being deleted from the Publishing Category, and its record in the OAI-PMH interface being marked as deleted.

If manual publishing is enabled, a Publish action is offered for unpublished objects. This action triggers the same mechanism as the OER Harvester would: a reference for the object is created in the Publishing Category, a publicly available export file is generated, and a record for the object for the OAI-PMH interface is compiled.

If the selected copyright for the object is not one of the eligible licences, the Publish action is disabled, and the info message shows a list of all eligible licences.

When only manual publishing is enabled, and not also automatic, there is no Blocked status and associated actions.

If the Editorial Step is enabled, the Under Review status appears.

For unpublished objects, the Publish action is replaced by Submit for Publishing. The effect is similar to Publish, but a reference is created in the Editorial Category instead of the Publishing Category, and no record for the OAI-PMH interface is created.

The remaining steps needed for publishing are offered to the editorial team exclusively at the object's reference in the Editorial Category: The Accept for Publishing moves the object's reference from the Editorial to the Publishing Category, and compiles the record for the OAI-PMH interface.

Complementary to that, the Reject action, also offered exclusively at the object's reference in the Editorial Category, reverts the object back to Blocked or Unpublished, analogously to Withdraw for published objects.

At the 'original' object, during the review the Withdraw action is offered, which is identical to the Reject action.
