Is there a way to import tabs/history/settings from Edge dev or Edge canary into Edge Beta channel? Only import options right now are for Edge browser.

florsignol   When I installed Beta I got a screen asking me if I wanted to "bring things over" or "start fresh".  Those weren't the words on the buttons, but that was the gist.  I chose "start fresh" and everything snapped into place -- Favorites Bar, Other Favorites, Settings and so on. 

 

I was going to try to get a screenshot of the buttons for you, so I installed Canary as well a few minutes ago.  I didn't get any buttons, but when I opened Canary, everything was there.

 

I didn't expect that, but that happens for me when I install a new version.  So try uninstalling Beta, and then installing it again and see what happens.

 

I also notice that Favorites sync to one another across the three versions.  When I add/subtract a Favorite from one version, it syncs to the other versions.  I suspect that is because all versions point to the same syncing account, tied to my MSA.
