1. In the Tasker preferences, ensure that UI -> Beginner Mode is not checked.
2. Long-click on the task or profile name you want to export.
   • A profile must be named by you. The default name assigned by Tasker won't work.
   • The item should change color to indicate it was selected .
3. Open the More Options menu.
   • This is also called the "3-dot" menu.
   • Located at the upper right on the screen.
4. From the menu, select Export.
5. From the new menu that appears, select Description To Clipboard.
6. Format the exported description using one of the methods found here.
