Design File Decommission & Closure

Overview

The Design File Decommission Stage is the final phase in the document lifecycle where a design file is formally retired from active use. This stage ensures that outdated, superseded, or obsolete design documentation is removed from production environments while preserving historical traceability and compliance with quality and regulatory requirements. The purpose of decommissioning is to prevent the use of incorrect or inactive design data and maintain a clean, well‑controlled document repository.
