# Activate a component draft

Activates an existing component draft by creating the corresponding content type (when present),
component, and variants, then permanently removes the draft from storage.
Activation is a one-way operation — once successful the draft is no longer retrievable.
When activation availability is omitted, the endpoint falls back to the draft's stored availability.
If neither activation input nor the stored draft defines site assignments, the component is created without site assignments.
