## 10.8. Demoting a Lifecycle Stage

A user with `Lifecycle` permission can demote an object to the previous stage if demotion is allowed for that stage in the lifecycle definition.

To demote a lifecycle stage to the previous stage:

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

   Figure 10.12: Demote Lifecycle Stage Dialog Box

   Note: You cannot demote 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 stage has a signoff process, the signoff committee members will be shown.

5. Click OK to demote the lifecycle stage. A separate Signoff request process will be launched if the object requires a signoff before it can be demoted.
