# Lifecycle Management

## Transitions under Change Management Control

| If the Release Management works in conjunction with the Change Management, each transition within a lifecycle can be defined individually to be controlled by the Change Management.
| In the example the corresponding settings are described for the standard release procedure for documents.
| Select Manager > Lifecycles > Lifecycles. The Lifecycles mask is opened.
| Search for the lifecycle STD-DOC.
| On the Transitions tab all possible transition steps within this lifecycle are displayed as a list.
| The activated checkboxes in the For Change Management column indicate the transitions that are visible if the Change Management is active, respectively the individual object (item, document) is controlled by the Change Management. In the example this refers to the transitions from 120 | In Approval to 220 | Approved and 220 | Approved to 230 | Released.
| Furthermore, the activated checkbox in the System column indicates that the transition from 220 | Approved to 230 | Released can only be performed by the system and not by an individual user.
| It is possible to assign any of the listed transitions to the control of the Change Management.
| If the Change Management is deactivated, it is not possible to perform the transitions that are assigned to the control of the Change Management.
