MicrosoftEarly preview of Microsoft Edge group policies
Ruud van Velsen The policy wasn't ready when Sean shared the administrative template zip file. It will be in the next version we share.
I agree. This would be a huge feature for corporate and enterprise users. It would be nice to be able to turn on "legacy favorites integration", and a legacy favorites button would appear next to regular favorites. Then users click whichever one they want.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'd like to understand a little more about what you are trying to do. We have looked into keeping IE favorites and Edge favorites in sync, and it's a little tricky (for example, with the current EdgeHTML version, when that policy is enabled, device-to-device sync is disabled to avoid loops). We want to make sure we're meeting your needs, so it'd be great if you could elaborate on the specific scenarios so we can do the right thing for you.
First, you mentioned that you want to use KFR -- what does using KFR to redirect the favorites folder get you vs using the built in Edge Sync mechansm to sync folders across devices?
Second, you mentioned that you would want a "legacy favorites" integration button. We can automatically migrate IE favorites into the new Edge on first launch (a one time activity), so all IE favorites would be in the new Edge. What would be the scenario in which a user would want to access the IE favorites separately from the Edge favorites?
Many thanks for help in understanding what you're trying to do.
