Vantage built-in skills and read-only skills published by third-party developers cannot be edited directly. To work around this, derive a new skill from a built-in or read-only skill and edit the derived skill instead. Derived skills inherit all the rules and fields from their base skill. They can also be updated to the latest base-skill version while preserving every change you’ve made.
You can derive skills from any other skill too, including ones you have created yourself.

Vantage vs. Advanced Designer for derived skills

You can create derived skills in either Vantage or Advanced Designer. Use Advanced Designer for advanced customization — such as adding new activities for processing specific documents. If you’ve made significant changes to a derived skill’s document processing flow, continue editing it in Advanced Designer.
