Tips

• Include all key columns: Don’t skip columns you might need later
• Date format: CSV uses your locale date format (MM/DD/YYYY in US)
• Dependencies not included: Export doesn’t include task dependencies; you’ll need to re-create them on re-import
• Metadata: Notes and custom fields are preserved in export
