Edge Collections: Feature request and bug/problem report
i think there needs to be an option to select multiple collections and export them all at once to a single document, whether it's excel or word.
i think the Edge collection will have a hard time keeping the track of previously exported documents because if i share a collection to word/excel and then move that file from cloud to my local computer or somewhere else, Edge browser won't know its new location so it won't be able to pull up a list of previously exports documents and use the same document.

Well, not really. If it does a search much like the photos app or the music app does when you start them, they search for newly added photos or music according to which program you open. If it does not find the original file in its last location, then it Searches your entire system, and also gives you the option to add locations (OneDrive, Cloud, etc...) for it to search for items you want it to find then I think it would work well. Though it could become a system resource hog during searches.
But I do also like your idea of "an option to select multiple collections and export them all at once to a single document, whether it's excel or word." In the long run this would probably be the simplest way to go.....

Dennis5mile, HotCakeX, Neda_Meraj, this is great feedback! I walked through much of this on Friday with a PM who works on the Collections feature. We are still in the early days, and we hope to continue to make the feature better and more intuitive. Your feedback will help us greatly in this pursuit. Thank you all very much! - Elliot
