Enable or disable the Lifecycle management feature

Updated: June 5, 2026

Note Lifecycle management was previously available only for AI-related asset types. The 2026.06 release extends the feature to all asset types (in preview), except for BI Folder, BI Report, Data Element, Data Structure, and their child asset types. For information specific to AI-related asset types, go to Lifecycle management for AI Command Center or Lifecycle management for AI Governance.

The Lifecycle management feature is enabled by default for the following asset types. For all other asset types, it is disabled by default.

• AI Agent
• AI Agent Version
• AI Base Model
• AI Model Version
• AI Use Case

1 Enable globally

A global setting in Collibra Console controls whether Lifecycle management is available across your environment.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.

Steps

1. Open Collibra Console.
2. In the left pane, click the Data Governance Center node under your environment.
   The service overview page opens.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. Click Edit configuration.
5. Scroll to section Beta features.
6. Enable Lifecycle management.
   
   Tip To take full advantage of the Governance by design toolkit features, we recommend that you also enable Smart checks and Text attribute AI-powered writing agent assistant. For more information, go to About the Governance by design toolkit.
7. Save the configuration.

2 Enable for a specific asset type

After switching on the global setting, you have to enable Lifecycle management per asset type in the operating model.

Prerequisites

• You have a global role with the Product Rights > System administration global permission.

Steps

1. On the main toolbar, click → Settings.
   The Settings page opens.
2. Click the Operating model tab.
   Operating Model settings are shown.
3. In the Asset types table, click the relevant asset type.
   The asset type overview page opens.
4. In the tab pane, expand the Global Assignment tab (or the tab of the relevant assignment), and then click Lifecycle.
   
   Note If only the Global Assignment tab is shown, it means no one in your organization has added another assignment. In this case, use the Global Assignment. For more information on assignments and scopes, go to Create scoped assignments for the AI Governance asset types.
   The Lifecycle page opens.
   
5. Select (to enable) or clear (to disable) the Activate Lifecycle tracker option.
