[Patentpractice] automatically granted petitions available in patent center?

[Bob Barber]

 Thanks, I'm so used to going to the mis-named "existing submissions" drop-down menu that I didn't even notice the "petitions" drop-down menu next to it.  And then I found they're available below, on the PC page itself:

Hi Bob,
 
  
 
If you’re asking about the ePetitions, they are available in Patent Center for preparation/submission by a registered practitioner only.  Sponsored support staff are not allowed to do these, although our attorney usually logs in and does a screenshare with the paralegal to make sure nothing gets overlooked.  Below is a screenshot I made for our attorneys awhile back.
 
  
 

 
  
 
I hope this helps.

I apologize in advance if I missed a discussion on this, but were any of the automatically granted petitions that used to be available in EFS carried forward into EFS, and if so, how does one file them? I haven't found them in PC - it appears that all petitions are now decided by people.
