How do I add, edit or (de)activate a Skills Note?

Administrators can add notes to a Skill without changing the Skill’s content or version. The Notes tab is a separate function that allows administrators to customize a Skill and control who views the additional data. 

Please Note: Adding a note does not change the version of the Skill.

How

Follow these steps to add, edit or (de)activate a Skills note:

1. Select 'Add/Edit Skills' from the Skills menu selections.
2. The Skills Content Management screen displays.
