I was having problems with opening multiple windows without getting signed out of QuickBooks each time. However, I was able to fix the problem by first creating a "tab group." Using Google Chrome,Right-Click on the tab that you have QuickBooks open in (at the top of the web page)Choose "Add tab to group" and give your group a name such as "QuickBooks"Right-Click on whichever section tab (Sales, Expenses, or Banking that you wish to open in a new window) located on your QB's page on the left-hand side.In the pop-up menu, Click "Open Link in" and choose the group you just created (such as QuickBooks). This will open the selected section in a new window. I hope this helps. It seems to work for me in Google Chrome. Please let me know how things go. Best of luck.

Ask no more, @bjc31166.

You can open multiple QuickBooks Online windows by right-clicking the report, page, or tab you'd like to see and selecting Open link in new tab. Keep in mind that working in the same module (Payroll, Banking, Taxes) on more than one tab simultaneously may lead to one of the tabs being signed out.

To avoid this issue, consider checking out our QuickBooks Online Windows app at the link here. The app offers a multi-window mode that will allow you to multi-task in QBO without being repeatedly signed out. You can learn more about this functionality in our article on the matter here.

Please touch base with me here should you need any further assistance, I'm always happy to lend a hand. Thanks for bringing us your question, wishing you a safe and productive rest of your week.

When I right click, it does not give me the option to open in a new tab. Why not? I am clicking on an active link.

Thanks for bringing this concern to our attention, Oleg M

This is something Intuit doesn't want you to experience. I'm determined to help you find a solution for this.

If all the recommended steps above didn't work for you, I'd suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Care Support. They can conduct a thorough investigation so you'll be able to open multiple windows in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Here's how you can contact us:

Go to the Help menu at the upper right.
Select Contact Us.
Enter your concern.
Click Let’s talk.
Choose Get a callback.
Type in your contact info.
Select Confirm my call.

You can also check out our support hours for the most updated contact information.

It would be best to share the link of this thread so the next representative knows the troubleshooting steps you've done so far.

I'm always here to help if you have any other concerns or questions and I'll get back to you. Have a good one.

thanks, your customer service is great, but need more investment into making QBO more user friendly. Think of bookkeepers who are too busy discovering workarounds.

I was having problems with opening multiple windows without getting signed out of QuickBooks each time. However, I was able to fix the problem by first creating a "tab group." Using Google Chrome,

Right-Click on the tab that you have QuickBooks open in (at the top of the web page)
Choose "Add tab to group" and give your group a name such as "QuickBooks"
Right-Click on whichever section tab (Sales, Expenses, or Banking that you wish to open in a new window) located on your QB's page on the left-hand side.
In the pop-up menu, Click "Open Link in" and choose the group you just created (such as QuickBooks).

This will open the selected section in a new window.

I hope this helps. It seems to work for me in Google Chrome. Please let me know how things go. Best of luck.
