Multipass Error with an internal Reminder which Page you couldn't access

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

WorldAnvil regularily logs me out, most likely due to safety reasons? This is totally fine, but I tend to work in article "clusters" - I tend to work at 10 to 20 connected articles at once, all in Draft Mode of course. If Monday Evening hits (that's where I get logged out in WA), and I open the browser, all articles turn into a Multipass since I am logged out. If I log back in, all pages redirect to the main page.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

If the Multipass has some sort of Link to the page you tried to access - or even better, has that Information stored in the URL -, you can bypass the login problem without reworking the whole Multipass-Page or System. Same thing when someone sends you a link and he needs to adjust the subscriber groups a little bit.
I don't know how often that Problem occurs, but for me, that change would be very helpful!

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, with the way the current view mode is written, the multipass error page has no way to know what content you were trying to access, so this can't be done for technical reasons. However, there are planned future updates to the view mode that might make this possible.

    The best solution would be the website not constantly logging you out like it thinks it's an online bank, but if we're going to be logged out all the time, this would be very helpful!

    This would be amazing! I get logged out pretty frequently (because I use mutliple devices throughout the week), so being able to log in and stay on the article you wanted to access would be awesome!

    Anything to make the constant logouts less of an interruption would be amazing.

    In addition to this, I wish the site would stop logging people out at all. What's the point of the "remember me" checkbox if the site's gonna log you out anyway?
