Working collaboratively on decision services

Users who have access to the same decision automation can collaborate on the decision services that it contains.

Several collaborators can work on the same decision services. To make your changes available to others, you must share them.

When you make a change, it is automatically saved to your personal copy and visible to you only. Your decision automation must be connected to a remote repository to share your work with collaborators.

Sharing your work

Before you share changes, you must be up to date with the changes shared on the remote repository. Then, you might need to resolve conflicts. You can share when there is no more conflict. You can also revert to the state of your decision artifacts before you made changes, or you can restore your decision artifacts to a previous state that was shared with your collaborators.

Table 1. Tasks for sharing your work
Task	What to do	Where to find information
Create decision artifacts	Model and create decision artifacts.	Defining data Building decision models Building task models Integrating machine learning
Revert changes	Revert the changes that you made before you publish them.	Reverting changes
Load changes	Check whether your collaborators made changes in the same decision automation. You see an icon with a blue dot when there are incoming changes that you need to load for the decision automation. If there is any conflict between the changes that you made and your collaborator shared, you must resolve it first. Then, you load the changes that are shared by your collaborators.	Loading changes Resolving conflicts
Run decisions	If you retrieved changes from a collaborator, check the behavior of your updated decision model. Changes that do not conflict from a file perspective might conflict from a semantic one. You can run test data to validate this behavior before sharing.	Running models
Share changes	Share your changes. Your changes are now available to your collaborators. If there is any conflict between the changes that you made and your collaborator shared, you must resolve it first. Then, you share your changes.	Sharing changes Resolving conflicts
Restore changes	Restore your artifact to a previous state that was shared by you or your collaborators.	Restoring changes
