I set a view as a tab default to try it out, but I don't want to keep it. Do I need to create a new tab now?
Also, MLO Help says "You can set zoom, view and additional filters to store them as default for this
Workspace." What would additional filters be in this context?
Thank you!

Once you have set a view as default for a tab you can get rid of it by setting a different view as default. (If you have locked the tab you have to unlock it first.) You cannot get back to the condition of not having any default view unless you delete the tab and make a new one.
I believe the "additional filters" reference is about setting filters on the left hand sidebar, like the text filter or the context filter. For example you could use the Active Actions view and add a context filter to show active actions that you need to do while in the library. Of course you could save that as a new view but putting it into a tab keeps your view list shorter and simpler.

Dwight,
I'm confused how a tab can have filters that aren't saved as views. Can you point me to a post that will explain this?
Thank you!

No, I can't point to a post that will explain this. I thought I had explained it in my prior post but see that I wasn't clear enough.
Try this: make sure that there are tasks in your "active actions" view with at least three different contexts. Create four new tabs and load the Active Actions view in each. Then, go to the first new tab and, in the left sidebar in the "contexts" section, select one of the three contexts that are present on the view. DO NOT TAP "SAVE VIEW". The task list should immediately shrink to only the tasks with the selected context. Now go to the next tab and so the same with a second context, and the same in the third tab with a third context. Leave the fourth tab alone.
Now go back to each of the four tabs and set the current view as default for each tab.
Each tab now shows a different list of tasks but they are all using the same view. You can close mlo and reopen it and the tabs continue to show a difference. You can change the tabs to other views and then reset them to default and these differences come back. They are obviously being stored somewhere but it's not in the view. It's in the workspace.
Now, these are settings that could have been saved to a view. But there are other things, like zoom level and current selected task, that are saved in the workspace that cannot be saved in a view.
Does that help?
