You can manage an application's lifecycle in the App Factory in three stage transitions, which are Promote
, Demote
and Retire
. An application is retired when it is outdated and no longer in use. There are also three lifecycle stages as shown in the diagram below. For more information, see App Factory lifecycle.

Let's see how each user role in the App Factory manages an application through its lifecycle stages.
