Copy profiles created in Edge Canary/Developer/Beta to Edge Stable?

Hi,

Is it possible top copy/export/import profiles created in Edge Canary/Developer/Beta to Edge Stable?

Best regards,
Dennis.

    Any news? After installing stable I have the same question.

      Thanks for reaching out. Do you all have MSA accounts by chance? If so, anything tied to that profile should sync across the Edge versions/channels. (If you only have local profiles, those likely won't sync across channels.)

       

      Another Insider posted some troubleshooting steps in another thread which might also be helpful: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/move-quot-profile-settings-quot-from-dev-to-stable/m-p/1112929

        Deleted Yes, my default profile is connected to a "work" account in Azure AD, and there I have no problem. However, my other 30+ profiles aren't, and I don't feel the need to sync them to a Microsoft or Work account. However, it would be a great feature if I were able to migrate from and to another Edge update channel, or from and to another workstation, for that matter.

        Best regards,
        Dennis.

    Same question here, importing data from Edge Beta to the Stable Release isn't an option from what I see, and both my Beta version and the Stable version I installed today are even the exact same build revisions numbers.  I know I can export my Edge Beta favorites to an html file and import those, but there should be a way to import all profile settings I would hope.
