Do not upload secrets, customer data, or private source material. ## Choose and review folders 1. Open the target workspace. 2. Select **New**, then **Import skills**. 3. Select one or more folders from your device. 4. Review the discovered folders. Every folder containing `SKILL.md` within your selection appears in the list and is selected by default. 5. Clear any skill you do not want to upload, then select **Import**. If the app says it could not scan a picked folder fully, choose a narrower folder before importing. A partial scan can miss skills. ## Read the result The desktop app uploads selected skills in sequential groups and shows progress while each group settles. After the run, every selected skill has one result: | Result | Meaning | What to do next | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Uploaded** | Atlan created the skill. It is pending review. | Wait for review to complete, then verify the active version in the skill profile. | | **Already imported** | Atlan already has this content in the workspace. | Inspect the existing skill instead of uploading the same bundle again. | | **Failed** | Atlan rejected the skill or could not complete the upload. | Read the item-specific reason, fix the folder, then retry only the failed skills. | You can stop a long upload, but the batch already in progress can still finish. Review the final result list before starting another import. ## Verify after review New uploads remain pending review and are not shown in the normal active-skill list until the review completes. Once the skill is available, open its profile and confirm the version, source files, and workspace before sharing it with a team or using it from a coding environment. An active skill profile with the current version shown beside the skill name. Compare bulk upload with CLI, GitHub CI, and MCP-assisted publishing.
