Discussion - Set Aside Tabs and Warn on Close
Elliot Kirk, I thought Collections was to replace Set Aside Tabs. It's not as quick to save tabs but it is a better way to organize your tabs that you want to save or reopen quickly. I could see how Collections doesn't fully replace Set Aside Tabs but it could be in some way. Either set the tabs aside and give it a date and time in Collections and people can continue to use Collections as it's intended, organizing information for a trip, project or quick links to certain websites like royalty-free content (which I use to do with Favourite folders). I can see collections to replace Favourites in my use case unless you favourite random websites instead of websites themed, in my case, royalty-free content.

pbilkElliot Kirk, there is no way that Collections can replace the ease and functionality of Set Aside Tabs. They're two different things that serve two different purposes, as far as I can see. Would it be possible to modify Collections so that it serves two purposes? Possibly; I don't really know. But, Set Aside Tabs was something that Microsoft already has developed and implemented.it is possible, collections just take more than mouse clicks and also Microsoft would need to add an option to add all open tabs to a collection.
- Dan_AI4GKJan 29, 2020Iron ContributorYou sort of made my point. There are many ways to accomplish the purpose, but none is as convenient as Set Aside Tabs. I've set up a second profile, not attached to an account, that contains the tabs I want. It works, but not as well as Set Aside Tabs. I also set up a Favorites folder, but it doesn't work as well as Set Aside Tabs. When I said, "there is no way that Collections can replace the ease and functionality of Set Aside Tabs," that's what I meant. So, you sort of made my point.
