Hi everyone 👋

You can open a task in a new tab by right-clicking on the full-screen button (top right of the task details pane) and choosing open in a new tab or window.

**Asana Desktop app:**

💡 Alternatively on PC, you can either:

- hold Ctrl + left mouse click…  
or
- middle mouse click…

…on the full screen icon to directly open that task in a new tab!
