In which sub-menu of the References menu is the Production Ready option enabled?

The Production Ready option is enabled in the Edit Properties sub-menu of the References menu because this setting directly impacts how content is prepared and managed for deployment in a production environment. The Edit Properties feature allows users to configure various aspects of the asset or content item, including its status, metadata, and production readiness. By setting an asset to Production Ready, users ensure that it is properly prepared for published use, which is critical for maintaining workflow efficiency and content integrity in AEM.

Other options do not provide the same level of interaction with the asset's specific properties or readiness for production. While System Settings, Publish Settings, and Configuration Settings play important roles in establishing system-wide parameters and guidelines, they do not specifically cater to the individual asset's readiness status, making them less relevant in this context. Thus, focusing on individual content properties through the Edit Properties sub-menu is essential for managing production-ready assets effectively.
