A skill the app derived from your work doesn't always describe you. When you block a skill, it leaves your profile and moves to your Blocked list, and Meridian People & Skills Hub doesn't derive it again until you unblock it. There is no way to take a skill off your profile without blocking it.
Block a skill on your profile
Blocking a skill also deletes its evidence history. If you unblock the skill later, the old evidence won't return.
-
Open the hub and select My skills profile.
-
Select the Skills tab.
-
Block one skill or several:
-
For one skill, click Block on its row.
-
For several, point at a skill and select its checkbox, select the others, then click Block in the bar that appears. The bar shows how many skills you selected.

Click Block.
The skill disappears from your profile and appears on the Blocked tab. The app won't suggest or add it again, no matter what your future work looks like. Expert search and skills coverage no longer count you for that skill.
Unblock a skill
-
Open the hub and select My skills profile.
-
Select the Blocked tab. Blocked skills are sorted by name.
-
Click the unblock button next to the skill.

The skill leaves the Blocked tab, but it doesn't return to your profile right away. It becomes available again, so the next time your work points to that skill, the app suggests it or adds it, depending on the mode your organization uses.
