When in desktop version of outlook NOT the web version, I click on an email and then to create a task in Asana from this email I have to click open Asana Add-in from the home ribbon in desktop Outlook. Then when I click on a new email the Asana add-in closes.
It would be useful if the Asana Add-in could stay open so users don’t have to click back to the home ribbon and power up the Add-in for every new email they wish to set a task for.
This issue has been brought up multiple times in the community. It keeps getting closed. I believe the developers assume we are talking about the web version when the issue is at the desktop version of outlook.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, @Ismail1! I’ve gone ahead and updated the title so it includes more details about your request. We don’t have immediate plans to implement this option but we will keep you posted if we have any news in the future!
Thank you Emily. The title looks much better 
It’s unfortunate that Asana does not plan to implement this feature. I hope the enhancement will be considered for future versions since this issue has been documented multiple times.

I agree and up-voted. I’m tired of having to re-open and authenticate the outlook plug in every session.

Hi, the Outlook add-in is useful but would be much more so if I didn’t have to reopen it every time I click to another email. Can there please be an option for keeping it open in Outlook and then closing it manually?
I’m really disappointed that Asana hasn’t implemented this feature. Seems like a really simple thing since microsoft added support for pinnable task panes years ago. This clunkiness really kills my desire to use the product.

This would be great… most likely a small effort to implement, rather huge impact for users of this add-in
Anything yet? We are approaching 2 years of this thread.
I came here specifically for this question! Really would be great if it would stay open…
