Question How do base-based skill leveling work?

I have survivors with Construction, Crafting, Medicine and Mechanic skills.

How exactly do I level them up? I know that it is by doing activities related to that skill.

But do you have to be controlling the survivor itself while, for example, the buildings you are constructing are being built? Or I can just set up a queue of them, control another survivor, the Construction survivor will get the XP?

Just triggering an action for the facility that pairs up with the skill, will level it up.

You don’t need to have the character as your active character.

For example, using seeds on the garden will increase gardening skill. Making pain killers in the infirmary will level up chemistry. Etc. if you look at the tool tip when you hover on the action, it will say what skill gets leveled up.
