MicrosoftI moved to another user profile - how do i move my edge data including collections?
Collections were super useful for me.. would appreciate help.
- Oh, It could be because it's from another profile so it's not compatible, you can however open the file using Word or Notepad, it contains the data but in HTML/CSS format so it might be tricky..
- Hi, you need to export your collections to Word, Excel or send as an Email to yourself or someone else.
depending on your Edge channel that you are using, the file that all the collection data are supposedly save into resides in your user directory which you can find by entering this URL into your Edge browser:
edge://version/
and then look for "Profile path:" parameter- Mavi Etzyon-GrizerThank you!
however, i do not have the option to login to the old profile.
i do have a backup of all apps and data.. will this help?- Maybe, I don't know if the Collection file in the user directory is encrypted with the user's credentials or not so you could try copying the same file to the new profile and see what happens 🙂
Microsoft must definitely work on this to make collection sharable to other edge profiles.
Also it would be helpful if a collection can have sub collections so that similar hierarchy of 'bookmark folder' can be included in collection for temporary working purpose. Vice a versa Collection (for URLs only) can have option to add as bookmark folder / subfolder
