#1 Export tasks from Asana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to export your tasks to a CSV file. Luckily, CSV files are available on all Asana\u2019s plans<\/a>, including the free plan, so there are no additional costs or steps to take here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 types of data you can export from Asana: projects (entire project boards) and your tasks (the whole My tasks<\/em> board). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Export projects from Asana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can export an entire project from Asana in a few steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Click on the arrow next to the project\u2019s name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Choose Sync\/Export<\/em> from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click on Project tasks as CSV<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    Export My tasks <\/em>from Asana<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to export your tasks only, and not entire projects, you can export just the My tasks<\/em> board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Similarly to projects, you can export this board in 3 steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Click on the arrow in the board\u2019s title in the upper-left corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Choose Sync\/Export<\/em> from the dropdown menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Select CSV<\/em>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You can choose whether you want to import data from Asana into a brand new board<\/a> or transfer it all into an already existing one in Plaky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Import into a new board<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If you\u2019re already using Plaky and want to import data into one of your boards, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Go to the board you want. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Click on the 3 dots in the upper-right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
