## About Service Portfolio Management {#service-portfolio-management-rn__service-portfolio-management-rn-highlights}

* Use the added options to edit and manage your service portfolios.
  * Add life cycle fields to the taxonomy node records of your portfolios to align with the Common Service Data Model (CSDM).
  * Added more flexibility to remap taxonomy nodes. You can move an entire branch of a taxonomy from one portfolio to another, including the automatic move of its child nodes.
  * Reparent taxonomy nodes when you move them to a new location in a portfolio. You can also add a new taxonomy node in the middle of an existing portfolio, either between two nodes or between a node and a service.
