+**UI Action**: 
+Publish a Retired Knowledge Article again after it is already retired.
+
+**How it works:**
+1. The code finds existing articles in the Knowledge base that share the same Article ID but are not the current article and are 'retired'.
+2. It updates the workflow state of these found articles to 'outdated'.
+3. For the current article, it sets the workflow_state to 'pubblished', records the current date and updates the 'published' field with the date.
+4. It also removes the pre-existing 'retired' date from the 'retired' field.
+5. It redirects the user to the updated current record.
