Hi @ottD,
Thanks for reporting this. @exextoc, could you please investigate?
Preatty sure my issue is connected to this #4668
Hi @ottD Thanks for reporting this issue regarding pinned add-ins. It has been put on our backlog. We unfortunately have no timelines to share at this point Internal tracking id: Office: [4751127]
When using a contextless Outlook task pane add-in, the task pane stays open when switching from Mail to a module extension add-in such as Booking or Viva Engage in OWA and new Outlook. This is confusing as the add-in not only takes away screen real estate of the module extension add-in but the user has also no context of the selected emails that the task pane add-in might interact with. In addition, this behaviour is inconsistent as switching from Mail to Calendar closes the add-in task pane.
Environment
Expected behavior
I'd expect a contextless task pane add-in to close when switching to a module extension add-in, i.e. I would expect it to behave the same way as it currently does when switching from Mail to Calendar.
Current behavior
The current behaviour is that a contextless task pane add-in stays open when switching from Mail to a module extension add-in such as Viva Engage or Bookings but stays open when switching from Mail to Calendar.
