Drag and drop chrome extensions

I'm having issues dragging and dropping theme extensions in the extension part of Edge. I'm using the CRX file and still nothing.

QueenNini I appreciate the follow-up. After talking to the Extensions team, it sounds like there is a known issue around Drag-and-Drop. If you are able, can you try to unpack the CRX file (by renaming to .zip), and then try loading from the folder in developer mode instead?

Deleted I'm using the updated preinstalled edge and I already have the developer mode on. To confirm, I should download the CRX file, unpacked into zip in the developer mode? If so I will try that method and let you know.

    Good, It's quite stable too so you won't be having stability issues

    HotCakeX So the updated Edge won't be until much later. I see getting the preview builds have more of the features that are needed. I dropped beta so I might look into canary.

    You need to have at least version 81.0.395.0 which right now only Canary has it and soon Dev will join it.

    HotCakeX  will this work for the updated preinstalled Edge. If so, I will try that.
