##Exporting

Hold and press the profile or Task name
Press the menu button (3 vertical dots)
Select Export
Select your export method (XML to ... are your best options if you want to post via PC, or XML to Clipboard if you are posting via a reddit app)
Cut & Paste the XML content into a post, and follow the template as seen here.

##Importing

Cut & paste the content of the XML file into your favorite text editor, and save it using whichever filename you prefer, BUT you have to follow the rules below or it won't work.

In order for Tasker to see the file (file location doesn't matter), the file has to follow a naming convention:

A Task XML filename has to end with tsk.xml. Example: myexample.tsk.xml
A Profile XML filename has to end with prf.xml. Example: myexample.prf.xml

Now that you have saved the file, transfer it to your phone and open Tasker.

If you are importing a Task, select the Tasks tab, press it again and a menu should pop up allowing you to select 'import'.
If you are importing a Task, select the Profiles tab, press it again and a menu should pop up allowing you to select 'import'.

Find the file you just saved and select it. That's it!

To paste XML, start EACH line with 4 spaces or a tab.

Save XML content into a file with the .xml extension, filename doesn't matter
Press the Tasks tab
Select Import
Locate XML file you just downloaded and select it
That's it

Post Template

Copy & paste the data between the 2 lines, update the description, instructions and XML data with your own. Formatting will be applied automatically if copied exactly the way posted below.
