Ability to open multiple documents
Currently If I am editing a File in Teams, and if I have to refer another file present in Teams, I have to forcefully close existing document and go to the next file. It will be a nice to have feature if I can open other documents in Preview mode if I am editing a document.

I can not understate the need of this feature. I'm a lot less productive without being capable to open multiple documents at the same time. While the thick apps offer a way to do this (open in Word), it just seems sometimes that does not work, throwing up various errors

I'm 100% with you on this. Is there a way to view more than one file at a time?

Until they can fix this, the most obvious way to use multiple windows is to open Teams in a browser window, as opposed to using the desktop app. Each time you click on the Teams app, a separate window opens.

PLEASE YES. I am being forced to use MS Teams on more and more accounts and my productivity is taking a huge hit without being able to have multiple documents open at once. Or at least give me an option to open documents by default in my browser

Was working on a tender - wanted the original ITT open with the supplier response and the scoring matrix - cam across this web page when googling how to open multiple tabs!

Yes! This features is so badly needed. If Teams is truly where we're directing our end users to go to collaborate, we need to be able to reference other documents, chats, files, tabs, simultaneously in order to gather the information we need while working!

I was surprised to find this wasn't an foddering. This needs implementing as a priority, is it on the roadmap ?

Agreed! This feature would be much appreciated, the option to open and edit several documents at the same time (in tabs preferably).

Adding a "Me too". Being limited to basically one thing at a time (document, vs chat, vs meeting, etc.) makes it harder to stay productive.

Yes I agree this is such basic functionality across applications and I am really surprised it does not exist in teams

Opening multiple documents at the same time is necessary. Currently it is very cumbersome if you have to edit several documents. Currently it is inefficient.

Multiple files open in multiple tabs is a major want for me and those in my team. Often I want to refer to one document while editing another. This is especially the case when collaborating on documents. Seems quite a limiting factor that you can't do this.

I would really like to be able to have multiple tabs open in Teams, from different teams, especially when editing documents, such as Excel and Word. Instead of closing the active document in order to edit a document from another team, it would be great to simply switch between (live) tabs

I think this is a great idea. I often am build one document while having to access another one. There is currently no good way to do this!
