Thanks, Steph! This sounds similar to what I was thinking, but you picked up on the not-quite-declared need to ensure all is preserved.
Happy New Year!

I'm going to "Save As..." a copy, then reopen the original file and start cutting out expired branches. I will probably also manually Archive some old branches (File -> Archive), so I have a journal record of projects I've finished.

Background: I've been using MLO since ~2009, and have pretty much used the same MLO file for all this time. I use MLO at work and home (with occasional use of the iOS app). Since adding a cloud account with v5.0, Sync has always complained about too many tasks in the profile (Total tasks: 9818, Completed: 4426, Notes (kb): 2681). For the record, I don't think Cloud has ever failed to sync active tasks. I have AutoArchive set. What I'd like to do is retire my existing file into an accessible snapshot, reorganize my outline, move a bunch of stuff into Someday/Maybe and delete stuff that I am unlikely to do. I'm probably overthinking this, but since a long weekend is approaching, what I think I want to do Is: 1. Use File > Save As to rename the existing file (such that it doesn't sync with MLO Cloud) 2. Perform my cleanup duties 3. Rename the file back to resume sync-ing Is there a better way to do this? Thanks, Mike McCallister Senior Document Architect PKWARE, Inc. 201 E.
