2. Task Setup:

   • Name: Enter a descriptive name for your task

   • Description: Provide a detailed explanation of the task's purpose and function

   • Visibility: Choose between "Public" or "Private"

   • Execution Environment: Select "Run on Browser" or "Run on Server"

3. Code Input:

   • Enter JavaScript code directly into the provided editor, or

   • Click the "Import File" button to upload a pre-written or compiled JS file

   • Note: Currently, only single-file tasks are supported

4. Advanced Settings:

   • Click the "Advanced" button in the upper right corner of the page to open the advanced settings panel

   • For detailed information on advanced settings, please refer to the Advanced Settings link

5. Creating the Task:

   • Once all settings are configured, click the "Create" button to finalize your task

6. Testing (for Browser Tasks):

   • If the task is set to "Run on Browser", you can perform an online test directly from the creation interface

7. Using and Sharing:

   • After creation, your task is ready to use directly or to be incorporated into workflows

   • If set to public, other users can search for and use your task

Remember, well-documented and efficiently coded tasks can greatly enhance your workflow capabilities and can be valuable to the FilesWorkflow community if shared publicly.
