You can use the Upload XML Data File action to create XML data files when you have used an on-prem MMC editor, have exported the policy, and are ready to use the policy in Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud. Most on-prem editors have an Export as XML option, which will create an XML file you can save. Otherwise, you can select View as XML in Notepad. Once you have the XML file in either format, you're ready for the next step.
