As VPE (and now as Admin), I often had a need to copy information between agendas - such as a list of Upcoming Events/Meetings, details of a speech if being moved between meetings, copying descriptions of roles, , ..... I used to open an "host agenda" containing the information I wanted to copy or move; Ctrl-C to copy it, (sometimes paste it into a Word doc), closed original agenda, opened the new "target agenda" where I wanted to copy it, and Ctrl-V to paste it.

Then I discovered that I could do the following: If I copy the URL an Open agenda and pasted it into a new tab/window, I have TWO copies of active Agenda that are independent of each other. (I can then open a different agenda in each session - one serving as the "host" from which I want to copy information, the other as the "target" to where I want to move that information.

I use it both when I'm logged in as a User to move/copy speech descriptions between two different agenda dates; and also when logged in as Admin (and formerly as VPE) to modify multiple fields between agendas.

Because I have two different login sessions open, I have to log off from each "new session" independently (so I don't leave any session open if I just closed the Tab). I haven't yet had more than two sessions open at once for editing.

I find it very handy to use. Wondered if others had accidentally stumbled across it - or use it.

multiple tabs or windows in a single browser is allowed as you only have 1 Login active and one set of cookies.

However, you can end up with some data errors if you are not careful with this approach. When you update one tab, there is no mechanism to automatically force the other tabs to reflect the changes. (You would need to refresh them.)
