Add Import/Export Flags option
So i found a workaround for this, even though there hasn't still been added any functionality to the UI, it can be done using unconventional ways.
The file containing the state of flags is in the user directory.
for Edge Canary: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Local State"
for Edge Dev: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Local State"
for Edge Stable: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Local State"
*replace USERNAME with your own Windows Username.
You can backup the "Local State" to keep your applied flags or keep the record of them.
you can use the file by copying it to multiple machines to apply the same flags to all of them. it can be done in organizations and push the same flags to all of computers.
I tried it myself on latest Edge Canary and Dev (version 81) and it worked.

- Well i only tried with browsers on the same channel, it could also work between different channels but you have to keep in mind that canary usually has newer flags than dev so not all flags will work 🙂
