I 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..
Of course
here is the Collection file that you need to copy from your older profile to the new profile
I have around 6 collections but looks like they are all saved into one file.
I'm using Canary channel.
I tried opening it with Notepad and it looks like it's not encrypted as I could see the texts that I saved in my collection in plain text format.
Super helpful!
HotCakeX Thank you so much 🙂
i can't find this file... i was hoping it is synced to the cloud 😞
guess i lost all my collections... bummer.
Thank you anyway 🙂
- Anytime!
sorry to hear you lost your collections though, I thought when you mentioned you had a backup of all apps and data, that collection.json file would be in your backup too. but I was wrong..
The collection syncing is working normally in Canary channel and should be working fine in Dev too.
please use this page to view the sync status and their details so you will know if something is failing to sync: edge://sync-internals/
have a good one!you are HotCakeX right! i do have a backup. i just found the .json file. i copied it back... however i don't see the collections when i open edge...
any ideas?
again = thank you so much!
