unshelve
Take from storage
To unshelve is to remove something from a shelf, or figuratively, to revive a project or plan that had been set aside.
A shelved proposal gets unshelved when circumstances change: The committee unshelved the budget plan after new funding came through.
In library and retail contexts, unshelving is simply taking items off shelves for processing or restocking.
