Hi
Is it possible to create a web session/Website which opens multiple tabs?
If I open msedge.exe with two websites as parameters it opens two tabs.
e.g. msedge.exe http://google.dk http://duckduckgo.com
And a side question to this; What is the main difference between Website and WebSession?

Hello,
It does not seem currently possible to open multiple websites with a single web entry, I believe each URL will need its own entry. That being said, I will ask my coordinator to transfer your thread to the Feature Request section. Since the feature is supported by the Edge command line, I believe it might be possible to implement the feature in RDM. Our engineering team will be able to confirm.
The difference between Website and Web Browser sessions is pretty subtle, and ultimately they do pretty much the same thing.
The Website entry type was created initially as an Information entry, whose purpose is simply to store data in RDM. Comparatively, the Web Browser is designed as a Session entry, so it can be launched and connect to the configured website. However, over time, both received improvements that made them quite similar to one another. I personally prefer Web Browser entries, they offer a few more features, but both types are generally interchangeable.
We leave the two entry types available in RDM because both are equally used by our users and removing one or the other could cause problems with long-time users who prefer one type over the other.

Was this feature ever implemented?
Hello,
This feature was not implemented, and it's not currently in our roadmap. If this is something that interests you, I encourage you to upvote the first post of this thread as it will help us see the interest in this feature and help prioritize development.

Hello,
I have done the same request about a year ago.
https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/41486/open-multiple-webpages-in-embedded-websession#189238
It would be a excellent feature to have. We access multiple customers/tenants and therefore need to use incognito. Today when logging into entra.microsoft.com, intune.microsoft.com, admin.microsoft.com and security.microsoft.com using RDM we need to log inn each session. If we had multiple tabs they could share the same incognito session. We manage by opening more tabs manually today, but would like this to be automated.
Thank you both for the feedback.
As an alternative that's currently available, maybe you could look into the Profile feature. If you configure a profile name for one or more website entries, it will let you share their caches and configurations with each other. You can configure it in the entry in the Advanced tab:
Unfortunately this is not compatible with Incognito mode so if this is a requirement for you, that wouldn't work at the moment. I thought I would suggest this as it's not a well known feature for our Website entries and it might be able to simplify your workflow.
