Hi, Pat. Do you have a copy of the MLO User's Guide? If not, you can
download one at
http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/MyLifeOrganized%20User%27s%20Guide.pdf
While it's not an introductory tutorial video (you will find those at
http://www.mylifeorganized.net/support.shtml#windows) it is a pretty
thorough guide to using MLO and has the answers to a lot of your
questions. You seem to be particularly concerned with issues about
setting up and naming tabs so I would refer you to section 5.4,
Workspace Tabs on pages 51 and 52. You will find instructions on how to
create and rename tabs, and what those sync options mean. If you read
these pages and still have questions please write back and somebody on
this forum will try to help you.
Here are a couple of additional thoughts:
-The items in the left called "Outline" or "To-Do" are not actually
views, they are groups of views. If you expand the group you will see
other choices. The most popular outline is All Tasks a,d the most
popular To-Do is Active Actions but you could select alternatives like
Active Actions by Context or Start Next 7 Days if they help you to
better manage your tasks. Or (eventually) you could design your own
custom views with filters set up to exactly match how you want to see
your tasks.
-The name on a tab has no effect on how the workspace works. For
example, the way that you make a tab show an outline is by selecting one
of the Outline views in the left sidebar (usually the All Tasks view.)
Naming the tab "Outline"or "MyWorkspace" or "giraffe" has no effect
whatsoever on how it works.

I've been using MLO for quite a while, but there's still a lot I don't
understand with it. I thought by just using it, it would all come
together, but that hasn't quite happened. What would really be
helpful are few tutorials that actually start with a blank document
and walk you through the process of using it (step by step) for some
typical use cases. But I haven't come across anything like that. In
my case, I think I just have a few gaps in my understanding that, once
filled in, will bring it all together. So I have a few (very basic)
questions I'd like to ask.
1. When you open a new blank file you're presented with a single tab
(called My Workspace) in Outline view. I understand how to enter
projects, tasks, etc in that view. However, I notice in the
documentation examples that the tab showing the outline view is
actually labeled "Outline", and not "My Workspace". So are those the
same but just labeled differently, or are there other differences? If
just a different label, how is that changed? It wasn't obvious to me
how to relabel a tab.
2. If I add a second tab (new workspace) I'm presented with the
options to "Sync selection with first tab" and/or "Sync zoom with
first tab". What do those do?
3. If I add a second tab (with no selections checked) and change the
view to "To-Do" I see the tasks defined in the first tab (as
expected). But as before, the label says "New Workspace" and not
"To-Do" as the examples in the documentation show. So again, is there
a difference?
I think I'll stop here for now. Thanks for the help!
Pat
