After creating or importing a skill, you must publish it before it can be used. Unpublished skills have no version number, cannot process documents, and cannot be edited by other users.
Availability of this feature depends on your role. For more information, see Role-Based Access Control.
Publishing a skill assigns it a version number and makes it available for use. Each time you publish, the version number increments automatically. For more information, see Skill Versions.
Only the last user to edit a skill can publish it to the Skill Catalog.
If you are editing an existing skill, the most recently published version remains available to others until you publish your changes. To publish a skill:
  1. Select the skill and click Publish in the toolbar. The Publish tab opens in Skill Designer.
  2. Complete the following fields:
    • Name of your skill – The skill name.
    • Describe your skill – The skill’s purpose and any details that help other users understand it.
    • Describe changes in this version – A summary of the changes made in this version.
    • Select keywords – Keywords to help users find the skill in the Skill Catalog.
    • Upload demo documents – Sample documents showing what the skill is designed to process. These appear in the skill preview window and are used when trying a skill.
    Uploading demo documents before publishing is strongly recommended.
  3. Click Publish Skill at the bottom of the Skill Designer window or in the Actions pane.
