Tasker: Beginner Mode

Beginner Mode

When Tasker first starts, Beginner Mode is enabled.

In Beginner Mode, Tasker attempts to simplify things for inexperienced users, mostly by UI elements which are unlikely to be needed by inexperienced users.

Beginner Mode can be disabled by unchecking the option:

Menu / Prefs / UI / Beginner Mode

Some of the changes made in Beginner Mode are:

main screen, Variables tab removed
main screen, export options removed
main screen, project tab not accessible
task edit screen, task properties icon removed
action edit screen, Label, Continue On Error parameters removed
prefs screen, many options removed
various places, variable selection not possible

In the userguide, when references are found to things which do not appear on the screen. It's worth disabling Beginner Mode to see if that's the problem.
