Overview
Fixes Azure DevOps navigation by enforcing full-page Work Item loading, preventing the side panel from blocking URL updates.
Azure Boards Full URL solves a long-standing usability issue in Azure DevOps Boards. By default, when you click on a Work Item in Queries, Boards, Backlogs, or related items, Azure DevOps often opens it in a side panel instead of a full page. In this mode, the browser URL does not update, which creates several problems: You cannot copy a direct link to the Work Item. Browser History and Back/Forward navigation become unreliable. Opening related items keeps the same static URL. Refreshing the page does not bring you back to the task you were viewing. This extension fixes all of these issues automatically. 🔧 How it works Azure Boards Full URL intercepts Work Item link clicks on dev.azure.com pages and forces Azure DevOps to open tasks in full-page mode: https://dev.azure.com/.../_workitems/edit/{ID} Instead of loading them inside the collapsible right-side panel. The result is a clean, predictable and fully functional navigation flow. ✔️ What you get ✓ Correct URL updates Whenever you switch between tasks, the address bar now always shows the real Work Item URL. ✓ Stable back/forward navigation Using browser navigation is finally reliable—no more jumping back to the query or board view. ✓ Easy sharing You can copy/paste Work Item URLs normally, without manually opening items in a new tab. ✓ Better workflow Viewing related tasks, linked bugs, parent/child relations, and query results becomes seamless. ✓ Works across all Azure Boards views Boards Backlogs Queries Assigned to Me Links inside a Work Item Related work navigation If it’s a Work Item link — the extension ensures a full-page load.
