   • The guided task flow is automatically updated and simultaneously exports the items you selected to an Excel spreadsheet.
   • After you open the Excel spreadsheet file, you can see the items you selected in the first step of the guided task. In this file, you can edit the required item information.
   • After you've edited the information, these changes need to be uploaded back to the guided task flow. To do this, in the Add-ins tab, click Validate, then click Upload Data.
   • After the updated data has been uploaded back to the Guided Task, you can go back to the Guided Task and view the order status of the changes you made. To check the order status, select the batch name and click Refresh. When the Job Status changes to Succeeded, then you've successfully completed the Guided Task flow. If the batch fails, then you can redo the data validation through Excel.
   • To view the status of the tasks later, you can click the View Guided Tasks link in the Tasks panel tab.
