# Custom objects

## What the Screen Is For

Administrators inspect the workspace’s custom categories and control their lifecycle. The list also leads to the category designer.

## What It Shows and Lets People Do

Rows expose status, placement and owner. Confirmed actions activate drafts, archive live definitions or restore archived definitions; activation reports incomplete naming.

## States and Errors

Service failures and stale versions are displayed. Archived definitions remain listed as inactive, and read-only reach hides mutation controls.

## Patterns It Must Respect

The existing resource list uses lifecycle badges and confirmation dialogs within its configuration frame.
