# XmlWriter Task Parameters

The `XmlWriter` task writes documents to disk in XML format. You can use the XML to see what is being indexed. If necessary, you can then create further import tasks to manipulate and enrich your documents.

The `XmlWriter` task can be configured as a Pre, Post, Update or Delete task.

When you create an `XmlWriter` task, use the `Pre`, `Post`, `Update`, or `Delete` parameter to specify the file name to use for the XML file. For example:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=XmlWriter:C:\ConnectorFrameworkServer\my_file.xml
