# Skill Catalog

> View, manage, and organize your ABBYY Vantage skills from a single location.

The Skill Catalog is where you view and manage all your ABBYY Vantage skills. Skills are displayed as a list sorted by name.

</Frame>

Each row in the list shows the following details:

* Skill type — shown as an icon, with separate marks for base skills and their derived skills
* Skill name
* Version number
* Description
* The user currently editing the skill (**Locked by**)
* Date last edited

Version numbers are only shown for published skills. For more information, see [Skill versions](/vantage/documentation/skill-versions).

For OCR skills, the skill details panel also displays the configured PDF Processing Mode. This field is informational only and cannot be edited from the Skill Catalog. To change the PDF Processing Mode, open the skill for editing.
