Does Active Directory Sync support Collections? Collections are Locked as "OFF"
So Does Active Directory Sync support Collections?
I have it working fine for Settings and Favorites. I have blocked passwords, extensions and Addresses. History and Open Tabs are TBD but Collections is LOCKED off and I am not locking it?

I have the same problem, did you find a solution?
- No and in
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#roamingprofilesupportenabled
Microsoft states the following:
"The settings stored in Microsoft Edge profiles (favorites and preferences) are also saved to a file stored in the Roaming user profile folder"
In
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/enterprise/roamingprofilesupportenabled-referred-to-in-other-policies-desc/m-p/1119723/page/4
there was also no solution found.
In
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-on-premises-sync
there is the same statement:
"In With on-premises sync, Microsoft Edge saves an Active Directory user's favorites and settings to a file that can be moved between different computers."
So it seems Microsoft either can not or does not really want to? At least at the moment. It would be great if that would change in the future, to be on par with the functionality of the old Internet Explorer.
