Navigating the Power Pages Life Cycle
In the technical domain, a lifecycle refers to the series of stages or phases that an entity, process, or system goes through from its inception to its retirement. Lifecycles are used to manage and control processes, ensuring that each stage is completed systematically and efficiently. Similarly, Microsoft defines specific stages for websites using Power Pages, which are as follows:
