Unknown tasks

An Unknown task is a task location that is not linked to any existing known task. Unknown tasks can have multiple causes:

• Cutting an input or output task will replace it with an Unknown task. See Cutting, copying and pasting tasks and branches.
• Creating a new branch will create an Unknown output task in that branch. See Adding tasks.
• Using Branch From Here... will create an Unknown output task below that branch. See Adding tasks.
• 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.
• Opening a configuration that contains plugins only available in PReS Workflow (such as Create PDF) from a PReS Watch installation will cause these plugins to be replaced by Unknown tasks. Opening the configuration in a PReS Production or Office installation or upgrading PReS Watch to PReS Workflow and re-opening the configuration will restore the plugins and their properties.
