longer term deployment and greater stability. Now, clients with such systems can get a CD update

Locking decision tables in the Business console
In Rule Designer, you can

those locks to decision tables in the Business console when you publish your decision service.

Sharing projects in different decision services or branches
Administrators and configuration managers can set up project dependencies in the Business console
to make a project available in other decision services, or in other branches of the same decision
service. For example, you might want to place your BOM and vocabulary in a separate project and
reference it, so that you need to maintain only one BOM and one vocabulary, and changes made to the
BOM and vocabulary are automatically propagated to all the projects that use them.
