By default, all skills in the selected subcategory appear on the right.      6.  Expand categories to view and switch between subcategories.      7.  Deselect any skills you do not want to import.      8.  Click **Import** at the top right. ### **Bulk import skills using Excel** Use bulk import when you want to add multiple custom skills at once or migrate skills from another system. 1. Open the **Import** drop-down at the top and select **Excel**. 2. Click the **Sample file** to download the template. 3. Open the downloaded file, enter the required information, and save it. 4.
