Allow Minimized Parent tasks to stay minimized after logging out

Hello, within a Workfront project there is the ability to minimize the parent task with the carat so that it pulls in all of the tasks below it and hides them within the minimized task. This helps to make the project smaller and hide the amount of tasks that are in there in order to navigate to the tasks that are still open. When logging out of Workfront, it removes the tabs that you minimized in each project forcing you to have to go and click all of those again in order to make the project more manageable. For example, if there are 5 months of content that you are providing to a client, and you want to minimize the first 3 months of it since you are already done with those tasks, this makes the project smaller so you can quickly look at the tasks that are still remaining. I would love for there to be a way to "Pin" the parent tasks after you minimize them so that every time you enter the project it is easier to navigate within it, instead of having to manually minimize the parent tasks each time.

Madison or others, did you ever figure this out? 
I'm new to workfront but that issue is one of 2 things that occurred to me immediately.  I spend more time trying to scroll down and find the specific tasks, well down in a project, where I want to add/edit/update, than actually doing the work.  It's frustrating so I have to think others have the same issue or have a way to resolve it.  

The other issue is somewhat similar. When I open a task, it opens a "Task Details."  I edit what's needed and then  I ALWAYS want to back out of that to the previous view of tasks immediately above or below the one I am working on.  But I found no way to do this--through the browser "back" arrow or the Workfront app.  Instead my next closest option is backing all the way out to the main project.  Then I restart the process to drill down to find the tasks I was just working on.  Similar issue to the initial one mentioned.  

 

I must be missing something.  Otherwise everybody would be going nuts trying to use this app in such an inefficient way.  Thanks to ANYBODY in advance for any help on this.
