.. _Transform_ExecuteInferenceRules:

Transform > Execute Inference Rules
-----------------------------------

This feature from the :ref:`TransformTab` can be used to execute SHACL and/or SPIN rules
that are defined for the current asset collection and then asserts the resulting statements.
Also, one has the option to revisit all previous rules executions to remove results that are no
longer valid and to bypass the change history (for large transformations).

While you are developing inference rules, you may prefer to use the :ref:`InferencesPanel`
which is more interactive and allows you to experiment with results faster.
Once the rules are in production, you may find this transform feature more efficient to use.
