title: Editing TFS2010 Build Definitions
body: <p>We're currently setting up a number of builds in TFS2010 for our various projects/solutions.  </p>
  
  <p>We have a large number where the structure and paths, etc. are essentially the same, but one word may change (for example, using all Integration workspaces versus our Trunk workspaces).</p>
  
  <p>In TFS2008, I would simply edit the XML directly and do some creative search and replace or some magic in textpad before saving the file.  However, I do not see any immediate way of doing this in TFS2010 - so I'm stuck slogging through the build definition UI.</p>
  
  <p>I know, in doing a SQL Trace, that all of this ends up as XML - so is there a way to directly access this XML for hand-editing vs. being forced to do all changes through the front-end?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit for additional clarity</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have the Power Tools installed, etc. and can clone my builds - but my editing options are still limited to the UI, so if I have a large number of workspace path changes I have to do them by hand (one at a time).  </p>
  
  <p>My goal is to be able to directly edit the XAML for a specific build definition so I can do a clone, open the XAML, and then do a search/replace in bulk.</p>
