What inspired the request?

I tried to understand how to enact embargoes via the User Guide, and was unsuccessful.

Research direction

Start by locating the relevant User Guide sections and reviewing the existing procedure. Done means a user can follow the guide to enact both types of embargoes without needing additional instructions.
