Document lifecycles are the sequences of states such as Draft and In Sponsor Review that a document goes through during its life.

SiteVault automatically assigns each document that you create to a lifecycle. From there, the document moves through its lifecycle states based on the actions you take on the document. Some actions are not available in certain lifecycle states, for example, you cannot approve a document if it’s already in a steady state such as Approved for Use.
