# Lifecycle Editor

# Lifecycle Editor

Durability, shelf life and repair behavior in item definitions.

**Applies to:** `Nord Inventory v2.0.0`

Lifecycle settings are definition-level defaults applied to item instances where enabled. Use the lifecycle editor instead of custom client-side timers when the state must persist.

Public durability exports are documented in the Developer API chapter. Integrations should modify lifecycle state through those exports rather than editing raw metadata/storage rows.
