# `data.lifecycle_purge_visible`

Lifecycle purges records but hides none.

Area 5, [Data](../topics/data.md); not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Purge deletes records once they have been hidden for a while, so the lifecycle says which records are hidden:

```jadpo
entity Todo {
    id: Uuid
    deleted_at: Instant?

    lifecycle: {
        transitions: {
            delete: {
                set: {
                    deleted_at: clock.now
                }
            }
        }
        purge: {
            after: 30d
            since: deleted_at
        }
    }
}
```

13 |         purge: {
   |         ^^^^^ no `visible:` above
  reason: Purge permanently deletes records once they have been hidden for a while, so the lifecycle must say which records are hidden, with `visible:`.
  next: Add `visible: <condition>` to the lifecycle (agent)
