+Instead, it is a platform intended to host digital objects that get `DOIs <https://www.doi.org/>`_ assigned.
 Since the idea behind DOIs (and persistent identifiers in general) is to point at the same content over time, it does not allow users to change the files after publication.

+Mandatory submission reviews
+----------------------------
+
+Before any upload can be published, it needs to undergo a mandatory submission review.
+This enhances the quality, reusability, and long-term preservation of uploaded content.

+Previously, this was implemented via customized permission policies and required communication via external channels.
+As of ``v2025.1.0``, the workflow is based on `Invenio-Curations <https://github.com/tu-graz-library/invenio-curations>`_.
+This allows the entire workflow to be handled through the system, and allows the system to act as a ticketing system for reviews.

 One of the benefits of hosting InvenioRDM as an institutional repository is that it enables some conveniences by integrating with the local environment more.
