MLO View Backups in iOS

[Ryan K]

I started using MLO recently and have been creating views to organize tasks.  

The app is relentless about asking you to backup views every time you edit something, so I have been.  

I made a mistake and decided to try and restore one of the backups.  It opened in the app and created a new profile with tasks, but didn't restore any views (just showed the default views).  

Does the backup functionality for views not presently work?

It looks like you did not open the backup file with views, or did not export it properly. 

To export tap "Multiselect"-> select the views ->  Export (see scr1). Save it to files or send to yourself via a messenger.
When you need to restore these views, open this file -> select "Open in MLO 3". This will take you to the currently open profile in MLO and show the import dialog (scr2).

That seems to work.  Instead of exporting views, I was using backup.  (Settings > Backup Profile > Select Views > Backup Profile).  

The result of that produced a file which I had assumed backed up my views.  I had restored that file but it didn't include views.  If that doesn't backup views what does it do?

Backup just backs up your task outline. Views and workspaces are treated separately from the actual task outline.
