Once you have created or imported a skill, it needs to be published. Before a skill is published, it does not have a version number. Unpublished skills also cannot be used to process documents and cannot be edited by other users. Once a skill is published, a version number is assigned to it and it becomes available to use. If you are currently editing an existing skill, you are still able to use the most recently published version of that skill. To make the modified skill available for others to use, you need to publish your changes. The version number of a skill is automatically incremented every time the skill is published. For more information, see Skill Versions. Only the last user to edit the skill can publish it to the Skill Catalog. To publish a skill:
  1. Select one by left-clicking it, and then click Publish in the toolbar. The Skill Designer’s Publish tab opens, where you will have to fill out the following information: a. The name of the skill. b. A short description of the skill (its purpose as well as any other information that will help other users understand that particular skill).
    c. A descruption of the changes made to the skill.     d. Search keywords for the Skill Catalog. e. Upload demo documents. We recommend that prior to publishing your skill you upload Demo documents to show what kind of documents the skill is designed for. These documents will be displayed in the skill preview window. They will also be used when trying a skill.
  2. Click the Publish Skill button either at the bottom of the Skill Designer window or in the Actions pane.
Note: The availability of this feature depends on the user’s role. For more information about roles, see Role-Based Access Control.
