This improves multitasking and gives more flexibility when working on documents. The implementation follows the same behavioural patterns as the existing Attachment preview detachment, providing a consistent experience across Approval. Key capabilities Detach the editor into a separate browser window. Reattach the editor from either the main UI or the detached window. Automatic content sync when navigating between tasks (BNXT, Expense, ERP, Calendar). Graceful empty state when the current task has no editor. How to detach the editor Open a task that has an available editor. On the right-hand side of the editor panel, click the Detach editor icon. The editor opens in a new browser window or tab. How to reattach the editor From the main app, click the same icon (now labelled Reattach editor) to bring the editor back. The detached window closes automatically. From the detached window, close the window using the browser’s native controls (the X button, Ctrl+W, or by refreshing). The editor automatically reattaches. Navigation between tasks With the detached editor open, use the Previous and Next task arrows in the main app. The detached window updates automatically to show the current task’s editor content. Closing behaviour The detached window closes when: the user clicks Reattach editor from either the main app or the detached window, the user navigates away from a task in the main app (for example to My history, Process overview, or Document overview), the main Approval browser tab is refreshed, all main Approval browser tabs are closed.
