What does 'released' mean? Will The Accountant Toolbox icon be returned to the top of the page for easy quick access to the features 'power users' need??

Removing the Accountant toolbox icon slows me down. Burying the options in the left menu adds more clicks. It may look cleaner, but it is not optimal for power users of QBO.

Hi all, regarding the New window feature previously available in Accountant tools:
Last week, we made the New window feature, previously in Accountant tools, available in the new QuickBooks experience, based on accountant feedback. To access New window, you can customize your My menu navigation tool and add it to your Tools.
My menu (briefcase icon) is a new powerful navigation tool for QBOA users to create your own personalized navigation, including bookmarks, create (previously +New) actions, and tools (previously Accountant tools). We launched my menu to provide QBOA users with more customization and efficiency. Learn more about how to customize My menu here: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/small-business-processes/use-accountant-tools-features-quickbooks-online/L5rizTAvS_US_en_US
We had previously decided to remove the legacy feature "New window" as it has less functionality than duplicating a new tab from a web browser. We’ve found that major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge) all have functionality to duplicate a tab, in addition to additional functionality such as keyboard shortcuts and other movement/ organization functionality such as grouping, arranging, and moving tabs between windows. We will continue to evaluate the feature in the future.

Worth noting it works for every other default menu - it is only the dynamic favorites menu that doesn't support opening new tabs this way.

Merged in a post:
Right click on the main menu on the right is no longer allowing for "open in new tab"
Jamie Whitener
I always right click and open multiple tabs - worked just fine in my other client's file in the older version. This is not efficient.

Agreed - this loss of functionality in the new version is one of many that slows down my work.

I miss my accountant tools including new window as they were, it was convenient to find them at the top. I spent an hour looking for them, plus time on chat support to be told they've been removed.
Matt Skinner
Paula Albanese-Hanlon - they haven't been removed? they're now all under 'My Menu' in the little briefcase in the upper left under 'TOOLS'.
'Prep for Taxes' moved to Accounting > Workpapers.

Matt Skinner I went to legacy view because of the frustration of not finding what I needed. I don't have time for my work to be slowed down playing hide and seek. It would be more helpful if we were given a map of where things are moving to before they are moved.

Thank you for feedback. I will pass it to the team.
