Can Deprecated images be changed to Active

Hi,
I am checking if once a custom image's state is marked as 'obsolete' (images available under Compute -> Images), can it be changed back to 'Deprecated' or 'Active'.
While on GCP console, it is mentioned that deprecating images is an action that cannot be undone with no option to change the state from Deprecated/obsolete to Active (screenshot attached)

I see that deprecated images can be made Active again using a gcloud command. Both of these statements seem conflicting to me. I am not sure if I am missing something here. Would be glad if someone could help.

Hello @Priya346 ,

If the documentation to un-deprecate the image is mentioned, then it is possible.
