Managing Design Object Lifecycles

For objects in a project tree, you can promote, demote, lock, or unlock them, as long as you have the required access to those objects.

Before you begin: Open a project.
  1. To promote an object, right-click the object and select 3DEXPERIENCE > Promote.
    The app promotes the object and its hierarchy to its next lifecycle state. The app updates the State column with the new state.
  2. To demote an object, right-click the object and select 3DEXPERIENCE > Demote.
    The app demotes the object to its previous lifecycle state. Only the selected object is demoted and not its hierarchy.
  3. To lock an object, right-click the object and select 3DEXPERIENCE > Lock.
    The app locks the object and marks you as the person who has locked it.
  4. To unlock an object, right-click the object and select 3DEXPERIENCE > Unlock.
    The app unlocks the object. You can only unlock objects that you previously locked.
