You can export skills from the Skill Catalog. This may be required when transferring a skill from one environment to another, sending a skill to ABBYY’s technical support, or adding a skill to ABBYY Marketplace. By default, a skill is exported with data catalog records and with the document set used to train the skill. If required, you can change these settings in the Export Skill dialog box. The structure of data catalogs linked with a Document skill is always exported with that skill. Dashboard Filter If persons outside of your organization are going to use a skill that was exported with a document set, make sure that the documents do not contain confidential information.
A skill that was exported without a document set cannot be trained further. It can only be trained again from scratch using a new document set.
When exporting a Process skill, you can choose to export all of the skills it references. The export file may also include data catalog records and data sets for all of the referenced skills. The structure of data catalogs linked with the referenced Document skills is always exported with those skills. Dashboard Filter The most recently published version of a skill is exported by default. You can also export any previous version of a skill. To do so, copy the desired version and then export it.

Steps to Export a Skill

  1. Select the skill that will be exported by left-clicking on it anywhere except the name and click Export on the toolbar.
  2. In the dialog box that opens, disable the Export skill with document set option if you don’t want to export the document set that was used to train the skill.
  3. Click the Export button. The skill will will be archived to a ZIP folder, which may take some time. Once the archive is ready, it will begin downloading automatically. The exported skill will be saved to your local Downloads folder. Skills with large document sets (more than 100 documents) are exported via the SFTP protocol. Once the export is finished, you will get an email from Vantage with a link to the shared folder and the credentials. The link contains all the credentials so you don’t have to copy the username and password separately. You can open the shared folder using any SFTP client. This folder is deleted after 14 days due to the retention policy.
The availability of this feature depends on the user’s role. For more information, see Role-Based Access Control.
