Opera Workspaces exhibit global sync behavior despite per-tab isolation

Goal: Determine whether Opera’s Workspaces feature can be configured to synchronize tab groups independently on each device, allowing different workspaces to have distinct sync states.
Constraints: The Workspaces UI organizes tabs into named contexts, but synchronization of bookmarks, history, and open tabs is handled at the browser profile level, with no exposed per‑workspace sync toggle in settings or via flags. It is unclear if this limitation is by design, a planned future enhancement, or if a hidden workaround exists.
Questions: Is there a hidden setting or experimental flag to enable per‑workspace sync? Can users manually export/import workspace states to achieve device‑specific isolation? Does Opera intend to add independent sync controls for workspaces in a future release?
