# Lifecycle

Items, drawings and product documents all have the same lifecycle.

| Lifecycle state | Description |
| --- | --- |
| In design | Design work is in progress. |
| Design review | Item has been submitted for design review. |
| Design ready | Item design is ready and waiting for approval. |
| In production | Item is in production. Changes require a new revision. |
| Obsolete | Item is obsolete and cannot be used. |

By default, ***drawings*** and ***product document*** states are automatically driven by the item they are linked to.
