Keep Tab in Memory when Switching to Chat / Other Tab - Prevent Loss of Edits, Files, Login credentials
Issue Summary:
Switching from a Tab to Chat / Teams / Other Tabs causes the Tab to close, causing you to have to reopen the Tab (actually having to navigate to it again inside the team). This will reload the tap and all content before the Switching will be lost.
Issues:
1. Tabs open in Team gets reset - when switching between Teams in Team View
2. Tabs reload - when switching between Chat and Team View
3. Content (edits, files etc) on Tab gets lost (Happens both for to Issue 1 and 2)
4. It makes you re-sign-in to Planner, Jira or whatever third-party tab you were using
Enhancements requested:
1. Tabs should stay open in the related Team - having to navigate and reopen a tab every time is very bad for workflow (Relates to Issue 1)
2. Tabs should be kept in memory - Reloading the tab every time is Very slow (Relates to Issue 1 and 2)
For us the main issue is that we lose edits, files, data etc when we navigate away from a tab to a chats or a different tab as the original tab reloads. We really can not be loosing data.
I see many of other issues on here that are related? I will list them here and ask that they get merged.
I will also comment on all the other issues and ask that people come here to vote and list more issues so that I can keep this issue updated with requests.

We have Deltek timesheet web application that we want to show as a Tab on the General channel. Need the website cached/not refreshed so that users don't need to log in every time they switch tabs.

A common problem. Views are not persistent - switch away, switch back and they are back to their default state and position.
All views should be persistent, ideally even when exiting and restarting Teams.

When I sort folders by, for example, name the settings should be kept consistent. when I click on a folder, then exit out of the folder, the tab I was on should remain sorted the way I had it before.
The biggest reason for this is because if your company has a lot of folders it takes extra time to not only populate it but then extra time to sort it the way you want it to. -

THIS IS EVERYTHING. Without this- it totally negates the efficiency aspect and potential of this program and the integrations you have. Please make this a reality.

On the "Website" tab, I have added a website successfully. It shows up properly in teams. However, now, the website content has changed and the Teams tab did not change. I tried the following to refresh content, but it did not. I hit the refresh button in teams, I shutdown teams and started it back up, I changed the URL to something else and changed it back to the original.
In all cases, teams shows me an old version of the website. too bad.

I'd like to add that this is fairly crucial for Sharepoint sites as well.
My use case ist a SPO-Site configures as a dashboard with links to SPO-Lists, Documents, E-Mail, Calendar, etc.While very convenient to use it is hard for users to understand that they need to reload the page to get "back" to the dashboard. This would add quite some useability to this feature.
I do recall a navigation in early screenshots of the feature and would love for it to come back.

This behavior is very detrimental to OneNote use, since each reload takes at least 5 seconds for me. A handful of issues mentioned on this site (like OneNote views always reverting to a default section) would be solved by not reloading/rerendering the file every time.

The Website tab is fairly useless unless you incorporate navigation controls. Once you get deep within a page, you're stuck!
