# View Decommissioned Labs and Expired Labs

## Overview

This article explains how to view labs based on their status active, decommissioned, and expired on the lab management page. By default, only active labs will be displayed, but these features enhance lab oversight by allowing users to filter and access information about labs according to their requirements, including those that were previously inaccessible after expiration or decommissioning.

By the end of this documentation, you should be able to:

- View decommissioned labs and understand their status.
- Access expired labs and review their configurations.
