    Thanks a lot!

    Although I searched well - I did not find the button  'Open in Desktop App'...

    I would love to know what the link to find this button is - for the future.

Hi shlomi17, let's see what we can find on this together. 

 

Just to make sure that I have a better visual understanding of your concern, could you send me a screenshot (without any personal information) of what you're seeing? 

 

Looking forward to hearing back from you!
