Inactive Tab Redirects to SharePoint Home
Is there a way to prevent inactive tabs from eventually redirecting to the SharePoint home page?
I rely on keeping important documents (Word, PPT, etc.) open in tab groups in MS Edge to return to for reference, but I'm finding that they sometimes end up redirecting back to the home page.
What's worse is that when this happens, I can't go "back" to the original document. If I don't remember what the document was to reload it, I'm out of luck, which is extremely frustrating.

Hi DavidMichaelangelo Maybe the files are opening in preview mode? You can try using a different link to access the file. For example, use the "Copy link" option and open it in a new tab. I hope that helps!

Thanks michalkornet, but I don't believe that is the case. It happened to several files, at least a couple of which would not have been opened in preview mode. It took a long time for the issue to happen. The documents were sleeping tabs for a couple of weeks before suddenly all redirecting to the home page.

Hi DavidMichaelangelo, another idea came to my mind: maybe it is related to the expiration date of the link?
