What is the setting in Production Server for auto deployment and how do I set this up?

I could not find a place in Settings section in the Production Sever Dashboard to enable or disable auto deployment, and if I need to add the options through advanced section, what I should put there? Do I need to restart the server/instance after I add the auto deployment configuration?

According to the documentation, archives placed on the auto-deploy folder are automatically unpacked if your server is managed through command line, so you do not need to enable or disable this per se. For dashboard instances, https://www.mathworks.com/help/mps/qs/share-a-ctf-archive-on-the-server-instance.html, you must upload through dashboard.

The part that seems confusing is this statement here in the doc: https://www.mathworks.com/help/mps/server/mps.configuration-properties.html#bufy3fi

"Dashboard Usage

In the Settings tab of your server instance, under Advanced, specify the property setting in the Additional Options box. For example:

--auto-deploy-root ./auto_deploy"

Thanks for pointing it out that "archives placed on the auto-deploy folder are automatically unpacked if your server is managed through command line". I think that is the approach I will try. Thanks again.
