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.

Please update your post to reflect that Quickbooks is no longer supporting the app! Freaking heck this is why I am now on this stupid website searching for how to open multiple tabs without being logged out, wasting time having to "f5" every time I need to switch windows, etc... maybe invest more time or money into making the online site work for professionals who are forced to use the online edition because stupid owners think it's cheaper. It's not cheaper paying a bookkeeper to waste time trying to figure out how to multi task.

The multiple tab function was one of the best parts of the QB App. Because of the continual log out issue on a browser, this will cost my clients in the long run. I certainly hope that QB can come up with an option on a browser to allow multiple tabs.

Hello there, Renee444. Thanks for letting us know your insights.

Using a browser will also let you open a few tabs. For example, you'll want to open a new tab for the Sales page. Just right-click and select Open link in a new tab. However, it's not applicable per transaction and items.
