Now, you can open the Citrix Enterprise Browser directly from the Citrix Workspace app without requiring you to open a web or SaaS app. This feature provides easy access to Citrix Enterprise Browser and doesn’t require any configurations from administrators. This feature is available by default.

Note:

This feature is available for Cloud customers only, and the end user must have entitlement to at least one web or SaaS app through Secure Private Access.
