This scenario describes how to continue developing a Classification or Document skill in Vantage. It does not cover collecting documents from a skill already running in production.

​
Release a skill to production

To make a skill available for processing documents:
1

Create the skill

Create the skill in Vantage or Advanced Designer.
2

Configure and train

Configure and train the skill. For details, see Classification skill, Document skill, or the Advanced Designer guide.
3

Publish

Publish the skill when you’re ready to expose it to users — for production or testing. Publishing assigns a version number and makes the skill available for document processing via API or connectors.
If a skill has no version number in the Skill Catalog, it hasn’t been published yet and is not yet available for document processing.

​
Edit a skill that is available in production

To adjust a published skill:
1

Open the published skill

Open the skill. Vantage creates a new draft version; the published version stays live, so editing does not affect other users.
2

Make changes and publish

Make your changes and publish. Vantage creates a new published version with an incremented version number. Users who consume the skill via API or connectors always receive the latest published version, so the change applies automatically.
For more information, see Edit a skill.

​
Roll a skill back to a previous version

If you aren’t satisfied with a new skill version, delete it and roll back to the previous one:
1

Open the skill

Open Skill Catalog and click the skill version number.
2

Duplicate to preserve the version

To keep a copy of the version you’re about to delete, click the Duplicate skill icon to copy it to a new skill.
3

Delete the latest version

Click the Delete icon next to the latest version. Users are switched to the second-most-recent version in the list.
Deleting a version is permanent.
A duplicated version becomes a separate skill. You can continue developing it independently, but it can’t be merged back into the original skill later. To use the new skill, users must update the skill ID in their API calls or connector settings.
For more information, see Skill versions.
