Links to tasks or projects are opening in my browser whilst I have the Mac desktop app open - I noticed there was a thread on this already whereby we would be told when this will be rolled out to all users but the thread has since been closed; is this development still ongoing?

Thank you

Adam.

Hi @anon32368263, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 👋🏻

This feature has since been rolled out to all users. Could you please try logging out of Asana on your browser and reinstalling your desktop app?

Please let me know if this resolves the issue!

@Rebecca_McGrath actually this is still not working - so when I have a hyperlink to a project - i.e. address shares on a chat - when I click the link it opens it in my browser rather than the desktop app - and I have reinstalled it as you mentioned

Hi @anon32368263, thanks for following up! Our Product team are still in the process of rolling out the ability to open links in the Desktop app. While this isn’t available to all users right now, it should be soon!

I hope this helps 🙂
