## 10.7. Promoting a Lifecycle Stage

An object can be promoted to the next stage by any user who has `Lifecycle` permission for the stage.

To promote an object to the next lifecycle stage:

1. Select the object, then select (Edit) > Lifecycle > Promote. This opens the Promote Lifecycle Stage dialog box.

   Figure 10.11: Promote Lifecycle Stage Dialog Box - Signoff Required

   Note: You cannot promote an object if it is under version control and currently checked out by a user, or if a user has exclusive control of it.

2. Select the new stage.

3. Optionally enter comments. These are viewable in the Lifecycle history.

4. If the lifecycle stage requires a signoff before it can be promoted, the signoff committee members are listed.

5. Click OK. If the object does not require a signoff, it will be immediately promoted to the next stage. If signoff is required, a separate Signoff process will be launched.
