Select the skill ZIP file

In the dialog box that opens, select the skill’s ZIP file. The skill is uploaded to your Skill Catalog and published automatically. You can edit it afterward.
If the imported skill has a shared folder import configured, you must enable shared folder import manually after importing.
If a skill with the same name already exists in your Skill Catalog, Vantage displays a warning and asks whether you want to create a new version of the existing skill or save it under a different name. If you rename it, Vantage saves the imported skill as <Imported skill name> New. Imported skills start at version 1.0. If a skill with the same name was previously deleted from the tenant, the version number continues from that deleted skill.

Skills imported from Advanced Designer

Skills imported from Advanced Designer can only be trained in Vantage if a Fast Learning activity was added to the document processing flow in Advanced Designer.

​
Import archives larger than 2 GB

If the skill archive exceeds 2 GB, Vantage displays a dialog box with a link to a shared SFTP folder and its credentials. The export is a single ZIP archive, so upload that one file to the folder using any SFTP client. Vantage imports the skill automatically and then deletes the archive from the folder. Only one skill can be imported per folder. Any files uploaded afterward are moved to an exception folder. The shared folder remains active for 14 days. For more information, see Use an SFTP shared folder.

Import a Document skill with data catalogs

Data catalogs exported with a skill are imported as follows:

​
Import a Process skill

If you import a Process skill that was exported without its referenced skills, make sure all referenced skills already exist in the Skill Catalog. Import any missing referenced skills before importing the Process skill, otherwise the import will fail. If you import a Process skill that was exported with its referenced skills, they are handled as follows:
  • If the referenced skill already exists in the Skill Catalog, it is not imported. The existing skill is used, even if the version in the archive is newer.
  • If a skill with the same name exists in the Skill Catalog, the referenced skill is imported and renamed, and the link in the Process skill is updated to point to the renamed skill.
