Assuming the declass statement is true as written, Barr has control over how and when things come out. (Trump may have already given him some “guidance” on the that).

I suspect he has given some 'guidance'. Also worth noting that the President is taking this action at the 'request and recommendation of the Attorney General. AG Barr is requesting the declas.

Remember Barr said just a few days ago the answers he was getting from them were not adequate or making sense.

So Trump just took awAy their ability to obstruct, hide and deny.
