Export and Import Skill Hidden

A convenient method of uploading, maintaining and managing Hidden Skills is to make use of the Export and Import functionality.

Export can also be used to check whether or not any of the Skills you wish to hide, have already been selected by either Individuals in their Skill profiles or Requirements (Job/Roles). This may effect your decision making on whether to hide a skill or not.
