This would indeed be great to have.

These unpublished structures would be a great addition to the COD. As
for bulk deposition, the COD validation and deposition interface [1]
already accepts uploads of archives with many CIF files, thus this could
speed up the process. Nevertheless, having "Deposit to COD" button in
FinalCif would be surely beneficial.
