How o release a taxonomy after CVLM

Abstract

The Value List Management Tool in E2 enables authorized users to create, edit, and disable values in value lists efficiently, with full tracking and collaborative functionality.

 Once a snapshot is validated, it will be part of the next taxonomy release.

Check for conflicts

Before releasing the taxonomy it is key that there are no conflicts that need to be resolved

Release the taxonomy

Only when the new version of E2 is release then the new taxonomy can be released, not before
