go to that page, right-click and choose "save as..."

Here are a couple of ways/suggestions:
1. Save it as a Favorite
2. Use Share
Whereby can then do a few things with the URL including OneNote!
Cheers,
Drew

- GPTDesign47_19Dec 15, 2019Copper ContributorI don't understand. When I click on the STAR beside the Web Address I only get a small screen that allows me to enter a new name to save the page into the Favorites or I can add a new sub-label to an existing category in Favorites. Do not get the screen with all the options you show. Maybe on an old version of EDGE as I just installed Win10. I really miss the ability to click and select the address line and drag it to the Desktop which then shows the sites ICON image along with a brief name of the subject line of the page I have saved to desktop. This is the PRIMARY reason why I suspect I will still use Mozilla Foxfire. Edge would do themselves a favor it they would allow drag-n-drop on the Web Link just like Firefox.

Hi (sorry, don't know your name),
Ok, couple of things here:
1st, pinning is to Taskbar not, desktop.
The Drag to Taskbar from the URL logo is an old IE thing. Edge HTML & Edge C both have Pin to Taskbar in their ellipsis. In Edge HTML it's listed on its own. In Edge C it's in More tools. Edge HTML, also, has Set tabs aside and many are hoping this will, also, be in Edge C.
Edge HTML
Edge C
Set aside

It works on on Edge version 81
Edge icon with site's description get added to the desktop shortcut
Easier way is to install a site as an app which adds the correct icon and description to desktop and start menu.
- HotCakeXDec 15, 2019MVPThat's right, the star sign is for adding pages/links to favorites/bookmarks, nothing else.
in order to save a page locally, you have to right-click on the page and choose "save as". then you will be presented with different formats to save that page in.
