# Share Skills with your team
> Control who can find a Skill, organize access with folders, share links, create copies, and move Skills between Cassidy organizations.
Share a Skill with the people who need it while keeping sensitive instructions, files, and company sources appropriately restricted.
## Sharing and installation are different
Before changing access, remember:
* **Sharing** controls who can find and open a Skill.
* **Installation** makes the Skill available across a person's compatible Cassidy chats.
* **Attachment** makes the Skill available through a particular Agent or Workflow AI action.
Sharing a Skill does not automatically install it. Installing a Skill does not grant access to resources that person cannot already view.
## Choose where a Skill lives
Each Skill has one location:
* **Private:** Only the creator can access the Skill.
* **Team:** Everyone in the organization can find and view the Skill.
* **Shared folder:** The organization, selected groups, or selected people receive the access configured on that folder.
* **Restricted folder:** Only the creator and people or groups added to the folder can access it.
Folders control access for the Skills inside them. You do not need to maintain a separate sharing list on every Skill.
## Share Skills with a folder
Use folders to organize and share Skills by department, use case, or audience.
Open the **...** menu beside **Team** or **Private**, then select **New Folder**.
Give the whole organization access, or restrict the folder to selected people and groups.
Choose whether each person or group can view or edit the folder's Skills.
Open the folder's **Share** settings, add the intended audience, and review each access level.
Drag a Skill into the folder, or open its **More options** menu and choose **Move to Folder**.
Moving a Skill can change who can see its instructions and files. Review the
destination folder before moving sensitive content.
To share a Skill with everyone, move it to **Team**. Only the Skill creator can move it back to **Private**.
Deleting a folder does not delete its Skills. The Skills return to **Team**.
## Make sure resources are also accessible
A person may be able to view a Skill but still lack access to something it uses.
Sharing does not grant access to:
* Knowledge Base sources
* Workflows
* External applications
* Connector accounts
* Other restricted company resources
Cassidy warns about missing Knowledge Base and Workflow access when possible. Test the Skill with someone from the intended audience before sharing it broadly.
## Install an important Skill for a team
An administrator can automatically install a published Skill for selected groups or everyone in the organization.
This is useful for required or organization-standard processes. It is not necessary for normal sharing: anyone with view access can install a published Skill personally.
See [Distribute Skills](/skills/advanced/distribute-skills) for the admin setup, access checks, and recipient behavior.
## Share a direct link
From the Skill editor, open **More options → Sharing → Copy Link to Skill**.
The link does not change access. Only people who already have permission can open it.
## Create an independent copy
Choose **Duplicate Skill** when a person or team needs an editable variation that should no longer receive updates from the original.
The duplicate is a separate Skill with its own draft, published versions, location, and installations.
## Move a Skill between organizations
### Export
Export downloads a portable `.skill` package containing the Skill's instructions and supporting files.
The editor exports the current Skill, which can include unpublished draft changes. Review the draft before exporting.
Secret values from **API Keys & Headers** are never included. External resources and authentication may need to be configured again after import.
Open the Skill's menu and choose **Export Skill**.
Export availability follows the same organization control used for Agent and Workflow exports.
The package may contain proprietary instructions, templates, examples, scripts, and files. Handle it according to your organization's policies.
### Import
Go to **Skills**, click **New Skill**, and choose **Upload Skill**.
Upload a `.skill`, `.zip`, `SKILL.md`, or compatible Markdown file.
A `.skill` or `.zip` archive must contain `SKILL.md`.
Cassidy creates a new draft. Review every instruction, file, tool, and
reference before publishing.
Replace Knowledge Base sources, Workflows, Connectors, or other resources that do not exist or are not accessible in the new organization.
Only upload Skill packages from sources you trust.
## Delete a Skill safely
Open **More options → Delete Skill**. Deletion cannot be undone.
Before deleting a shared Skill, check:
* Who has installed it
* Whether it is distributed by an administrator
* Which Agents include it
* Which Workflow AI actions use it
* Whether recent usage suggests people still depend on it
Deleting a Skill can leave those configurations with an unavailable Skill.
## Next steps
Install a Skill or make it available through an Agent or Workflow.
Automatically install a required Skill for groups or your organization.
