Need an explanation for WebApp-StoreApp migration feature in Edge
HotCakeX this one is a little complicated. The flag is meant for the scenario where you have installed a PWA via the Browser and then go to the Store and install the same App. We don't want to have two Tiles, so we have this flag to merge them.
However, the flag is only available in Canary, while the app you install from the Store is Stable. So to see this actually working, you'll need to wait for the flag to get to Stable. I've been trying to figure out language to use that explains this better in the flag description...

HotCakeX Recently they announced the ability for Microsoft Store PWAs to target the new Edge, instead of Legacy Edge.
I think this flag may be for purpose like for example, if I have Twitter PWA installed by myself, and now if the Twitter app through the Microsoft Store starts targeting the new Microsoft Edge, in that case Edge will migrate our Twitter to the Store one, instead of the one installed by us.
It's just a guess from me, an explanation from the team here would make much more sense.
Rohit Yadav Hello. I tried to do this with twitter. There was no replacement. 88.0.698.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit version)
