Document properties (Lifecycle tab)

This tab appears if the document is based on a document class that has a document lifecycle policy attached, or if a lifecycle policy was assigned to the document when it was added.

The document title and class appear at the top of the tab.

Use the Lifecycle tab to view or modify the following options.

Lifecycle policy
The name of the lifecycle policy.
Lifecycle state
The name of the lifecycle state that the document is currently in. Lifecycle state names are defined in the lifecycle policy.
Change Lifecycle State
Click one of the command buttons. Changing lifecycle state does not require that you click Apply. The current lifecycle state is always reflected in the Lifecycle State field.
Is in exception
Identifies whether the document is in an exception state, meaning that it cannot be promoted or demoted.
