  "abstract": "We solve the entanglement classification under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC) for all multipartite symmetric states in the general $N$-qubit case. For this purpose, we introduce 2 parameters playing a crucial role, namely the \\emph{diversity degree} and the \\emph{degeneracy configuration} of a symmetric state. Those parameters give rise to a simple method of identifying operational families of SLOCC entanglement classes of all symmetric $N$-qubit states, where the number of families grows as the partition function of the number of qubits.",
