# Govern skills

> Approve and manage the skills available across your workspace.

Open **Sidekick → Governance → Skills** to review workspace skills, edit or version them, and decide who can use each one.

## Workspace-approved vs personal

A skill is either workspace-approved or personal. A workspace-approved skill is visible to everyone it's assigned to and shows up in this governance list. A personal skill belongs to the person who created it and stays off this list until it's published to the workspace.

## Edit, version, and delete

As an admin, you can open any workspace skill, not just the ones you created. Editing it saves a new version rather than overwriting the last one, so earlier versions stay in the skill's history and can be restored later. Deleting a skill removes it from every scope it was assigned to.

## Publish or assign a skill

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the skill">
    Find the skill in the governance list, or open a personal skill you want to promote.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a scope">
    Assign it to a **person**, the **workspace**, or the whole **organization**. The scope decides who sees it show up in their `/` list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a trust tier">
    Set how much a thread can rely on the skill without stopping to check with the person running it. A higher trust tier lets the skill's instructions carry more weight before something it does needs separate confirmation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Saving makes the skill available at the scope and tier you set. It's a new version if the skill already existed.
  </Step>
</Steps>
