Last updated: Apr 17, 2026

There may be times when you need to reactivate a completed stability study, for example, if an edit to the stability study report is required.

Note Reactivating a study will not affect any of the timepoint spec execution records and their related records (samples, tests, results, etc); if changes are needed for any of these records, you can reactivate the record.
