Task Builder Formatting Preferences

Task Builder formatting preferences allow you to modify how steps are formatted in the Steps pane. You can choose to automatically add closing steps to those that require one (i.e. Loop actions should automatically be followed by an End Loop actions or If actions should automatically be followed by End If actions) or you can choose to add these steps manually as you construct the task.
