Hi @Patrick_EMIN :wave:t3:

That’s not possible at the moment, but certainly a good feedback for future improvements; thanks for sharing it with us!

Hi, also I have to login every day (sometimes several times…)? Do you experience the same problem?

Hi Marie-
Microsoft explains how to do this here Implement a pinnable task pane in an Outlook add-in - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn
“The first step is to add pinning support, which is done in the add-in manifest. This is done by adding the SupportsPinning element to the Action element that describes the task pane button.”

Thanks for sharing @Dan_Hardy, I wasn’t aware of this option! Marking your reply as the solution :slight_smile:

Hi Marie-

Thanks for this!

Sounds like the next step might be for the Asana development team to add pinning support in the add-in manifest. Hopefully that should be pretty simple to do
since it looks like a 1 line addition in the XML manifest file. Do you think they could do that?

Hi folks, our Team has rolled back the latest update which seemed to be causing this issue, so this should now be fixed! Marking this thread resolved, but please let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Any update on this feature request? Would be very helpful to get people to use this add-in more–which, in turn, gets them to use Asana more.

This issue still isn’t resolved. Let me know if you’d like me to do a walkthrough with you to show what’s going on.
