Outlook Add-ins closing when a new email is opened

Whenever I have an add-in open in outlook, it closes immediately when I open a different email. Is there a way to keep an add-in open while I browse through multiple emails? Or is outlook coded in such a way that forces the add-in to close every time you click on a different email?

Thanks.

As far as I understand your questions you are the user of the Outlook Add-on. If this is correct, you will not be able to change this behavior. Every time you switch the item you would need to click to invoke the add-on once again. You may also contact the developers of this add-on and request them to implement a pinnable taskpane with explanation of your business case.

Well, if I was wrong and you are the developer of this add-on, you should look at pinnable taskpane in Outlook. This would cover exactly the case you have described. What you would need to do is just support VersionOverrides v1.1 schema in your add-on manifest as well as register and implement the Office.EventType.ItemChanged event handler in your add-on JS implementation.
