Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Unknown tasks
An Unknown task is a task location that is not linked to any existing known task. Unknown
tasks can have multiple causes:
l Cutting an input or output task will replace it with an Unknown task. See "Cutting, copying
and pasting tasks and branches" on page729.
l Creating a new branch will create an Unknown output task in that branch. See "Adding
tasks" on page233.
l Using Branch From Here... will create an Unknown output task below that branch. See
"Adding tasks" on page233.
l Opening a configuration that contains additional plugins that are not installed on that
system will cause these plugins to be replaced by Unknown tasks. Installing the
additional plugins and re-opening the configuration will restore the plugins and their
properties.
l Opening a configuration that contains plugins only available in PlanetPress Workflow
(such as Create PDF) from a PlanetPress Watch installation will cause these plugins to
be replaced by Unknown tasks. Opening the configuration in a PlanetPress Production or
Office installation or upgrading PlanetPress Watch to PlanetPress Workflow and re-
opening the configuration will restore the plugins and their properties.

name.
