Removing Territory Exclusions

You can remove component exclusions at any time. To remove a territory, deliver the <territory_exclusions> block with the appropriate <territory> removed. To remove all territory exclusions, deliver an empty tag: <territory_exclusions/> within the <data_file> block of the appropriate component.

The following asset-only update example shows how to remove territory exclusions. The previously delivered film had territory exclusions on the Spanish audio and on the Portuguese subtitles for both France and Canada. In the example below, the territory exclusion on the Spanish audio is being removed for Canada. The territory exclusion on the Portuguese subtitles is being removed for both France and Canada.
