Hi, Chris. You seem to be indicating that you prefer the way that 
workspaces were designed prior to MLO V4. I'm not sure what that would 
mean, because the concept of workspaces was introduced for MLO in V4. It 
seems that you used something that you thought of as Workspaces in a prior 
version to keep different sets of tasks (private, work, health etc) 
separate from each other. There are several ways you might have done that. 
The simplest would be to set up different profiles (database files) for 
each set of tasks.That way, you might open the HEALTH profile, work with 
those tasks, and then switch to the WORK profile and go on with those tasks.

Another approach would be to create contexts like @Health, @Work etc. You 
would assign each task the appropriate contexts, and then you could create 
a tab for each one of them filtering for the appropriate context. 

Here are some of the tradeoffs between the two approaches:

If you use separate profiles you can have different synch setups for each 
one. Maybe you would sync your WORK profile to your home desktop, your work 
desktop, and your phone. Maybe you would sync your HEALTH profile to your 
home desktop and phone. Maybe PRIVATE would be just on the phone. Downside, 
every time you switch from one to the other you have to close a file and 
open the other, or else run multiple copies of MLO at once, each with its 
own profile file. It's a bit more effort to do your day to day stuff this 
way.

If you use contexts and views, you can switch from one to another quickly. 
If you sync the profile, everything will go to the other side unless you 
get really fancy with branch sync on wifi. You have to remember to put a 
context onto every task or else it will not show up in any of your tabs. On 
the other hand if you have something that's private at work and you want to 
put both tags on one task, contexts will handle that with no trouble.

Chris, I hope this helps. If I misunderstood what you are trying to do 
please write back and clarify, ok?
