# Publish a Document Splitter skill

> Publish a Document Splitter skill from the Publish tab or the Skill Catalog so it can be used by the Assemble activity of a Process skill in ABBYY Vantage.

To publish a Document Splitter skill, open the skill's **Publish** tab — or, on the start page, select the skill in the [Skill Catalog](/vantage/documentation/skill-catalog/skill-catalog) and publish from there. Once published, the skill is immediately available in ABBYY Vantage and can be consumed by the [Assemble activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/assemble-activity) of a [Process skill](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/process-skill).

## Allow or disallow derived-skill training

When you publish, you'll be asked whether additional training is allowed for [derived skills](/vantage/documentation/advanced-designer/document-skills/derived) created from this skill. Turn off **Allow training of derived skills** to disallow it.

<Tip>
  If you trained the skill with a large document set, delete those documents before publishing — published skills don't need the training set, and dropping it keeps the published artifact lean.
