Edit published decision tables in Workflow Studio when draft authoring is enabled. Without draft authoring enabled, decision tables are active and available to use as soon as they're created.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin, decision_table_admin, decision_rule_author, or decision_result_editor

## About this task

To modify a published decision table, you must create a draft, make any required changes, and publish the draft.  
Note:  
Older versions of the decision table aren't retained. If you publish a draft, you can't access the previously published version again.

Draft authoring is enabled by default on all new decision tables. For existing tables, draft authoring is available but not enabled by default.

To enable draft authoring for existing tables, verify the decision table has no unsaved changes, open the decision table properties, and select Enable draft authoring. After you make this change, the
decision table is moved to a published state, and you must create a new draft to make further changes.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllProcess AutomationWorkflow Studio.
2. On the homepage, select Decision tables.
3. Select a published decision table.
4. Select Create Draft.  
   This action creates a draft version of the table that you can edit and republish. The published version is available and is the version scripts, playbooks, and flows use when they execute decisions.

   You can view both the draft and published versions of the table by switching the View
   toggle.
5. Change your decision table.
6. Select Save.
7. To make this version the new published version, replacing the original irretrievably, select Publish.
8. Select Publish.
