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.

Since Quickbooks has announced they are stopping support and upgrades for the Windows App, are they considering upgrading the web version to allow multiple tabs to be open at once, like on the Windows App? While my App continues to work for now, I can't add it for any new employees and am concerned about lack of app support going forward. Not being able to have multiple tabs open is very inefficient for working across many related entities at the same time.
