Lifecycle: Change a product's lifecycle

These guides move products from one lifecycle state to another. You can change one product from its Actions menu, many from the products list, or act on a suggestion from the Suggestions tab of PIM → Lifecycle. Each change can apply now or on a date, and you can undo it for 24 hours. For what each state does, read How product lifecycle works.
