*Updated 9/3* Syncing in Microsoft Edge Preview Channels
Hi All,
We have rolled out a fix to the problem where clients were reporting error on sync. We expect an app restart should get the client back into a functional state for sync now. We so much appreciate your patience and willingness to help all this while. Apologies that it took us time to get this fix across to you. If you still see any errors, please submit using in-app feedback button (and drop me a private message so that we jump on it faster). Sincere thanks for working with us on building a better product.

Great post! Are there any plans to allow the management (by policy) of the "sync consent" so that sync can be enforced? It's more of an Enterprise request... the use case is for a more seamless UX during FirstRun when logging onto stateless VDAs. Our Edge pilot is firmly locked down for business use with the "default profile automatically signed in with their work or school account" policy, "Enable browser sign-in" is forced and "Restrict which accounts can be used as Microsoft Edge primary accounts" to our domain. Thanks and keep up the great work!
csrswalch Thanks. Just to make sure we understand your requirement - you need a management policy which can be used to suppress sync consent so as to achieve a simpler first run for your users. Is that correct? On a related note, are you planning to turn sync on for all the users as part of this? Note that currently we have a policy for admin to disable sync but we don't have a policy with which admin can force enabling of sync.
- That's correct. I'd think a new preference would be needed eg "Enable synchronisation of data using Microsoft sync services with a work or school account". In preference mode, if configured as enabled, the user would not be prompted by the wizard and would sync by default; they could choose to "Turn off sync" afterwards.
