# Release production order from hold - Impact workspace

Use **Unblock** to release a held production order and make the applicable corrective actions available again.

## Steps

1. Go to **Product information management > Engineering change management > Engineering change orders**.
2. Open a released ECO you want to review.
3. On the Action Pane, in the **Business impact** group, select **Open impact workspace**.

The workspace opens for the selected ECO.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If the ECO has no lines yet, the button is unavailable. Add at least one affected product first.
4. In the **Production orders** section, select the held production order.
5. Select **Unblock**.
6. Review the production order, current status, hold reason, and hold details.
7. Select **Confirm** to release the hold.

Select **Cancel** to close the pane without releasing the hold.

After the hold is released:

- The order returns to its underlying production status
- **Unblock** becomes unavailable
- Other actions become available based on the production order status
- **Action status** changes to **Hold released.**
- An entry is added to the **Change log**. For more information, see [Track actions in the change log](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace).

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Releasing a hold doesn’t change the underlying production status. For example, a released order returns to the Released status.
