Derived skills provide users with the flexibility to adapt read-only skills to their needs. Derived skills, whether created in Vantage or Advanced Designer, inherit all the rules and fields from their base skills and are fully editable. Additionally, derived skills can be seamlessly updated to the latest version of their base skills, while preserving all of the changes you have made. For information on how to work with derived skills in Advanced Designer, see Derived skills.
