tab (a user or group, administrators, etc).
To change a document lifecycle:
In the SolidWorks client or the SolidWorks Explorer
client, right-click document in the vault view and select Change
Lifecycle Status.
In the dialog box, make selections as described
below, then click OK.

column of the History/Notes tab
in the Document Information dialog
box and in the SolidWorks Explorer client along with a note in the Notes column.
