Export Custom Workspaces?
Now that I have spent a good amount of time creating some nice custom palettes in my custom workspace, I have searched for a way to back up my custom workspace; in case of system failure, hard drive crash, etc, the kind of thing that would force me to reinstall from scratch, I would not want to recreate these palettes (they took a substantial amount of time).
But I can't see a way to save the workspace externally. The Handbook says nothing about such an option, and it's certainly not in Edit | Workspaces.

Right click palette name, hit "Save palette", and save it as a .mpal file in your palettes folder.
That's how palettes are saved, but how are they accessed? Can you do anything with the attached file?

OK, I see how it's set up. You can't save an entire workspace, but you can save custom palettes that you create within a workspace. Your test palette worked fine via Load Palette. Thx much.
Hallo!
I created a new workspace and found the relevant file in:
C:\Users\*****\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore2\workspaces
Name of the file: XYZ.workspace
(MuseScore 2.0.2, Windows 7 Pro SP1)
You certainly can save this file und put it back after a crash.

What's really strange is that I can only find /AppData and all subfolders when using search. But the point is, I can find it, and this is very helpful.

That's probably a result of windows localization. When I look for this folder in my windows explorer I have to look for "C:\Benutzer\..." as I'm using a German language windows. Only when I click in the address bar of windows explorer, "Benutzer" turns to "Users". But you can copy/paste the whole address in the address bar (with the appropriate user name) and thus navigate to the folder.

Or due to the fact that these are hidden/system folders and as such by default not shown in Explorer on Windows?

Probably. I would just search "Whatever Workspace" and it will come up.

What OS? On Windows, as mentioned, you will need to enable hidden folders, then look in AppData. On Linux, look in .local. There will be folders for MuseScore under there, usually also a MuseScore3, and a workspaces folder, etc.
