Please bring "Set Tabs Aside" to New Edge
Deleted Yeah, though only optional button to add all tabs on that window is enough, just like what the Set Aside Tabs has. Collections is already visible anyways.
Whether the button is turned on by default depends if this is better for most or not. Since during the time when Set Tabs Aside implemented, there are some people accidentally hitting that button causing for all tabs to collapse into Set Tabs Aside pane, which can be annoying.
Still having a dedicated visible button for adding tabs into Collection would be great for Set Tabs Aside users and would be users.
I really don't like how collections work compared to "set these tabs aside" it was was simpler to use that way and whatever you do you can save quickly.. Now if you close out of tabs you no longer need you have to save the collection again.

There will hopefully be a separate button added for it as many users asked for it too but to be honest it's very simple to right-click on a tab and select "add all tabs to collection". it's just 2 clicks.

the old edge was one click to set aside all table. i Think that sometimes new "ideas" are not necessarily for the benefit of the vast majority of the users (consumer, normal people) but are just pastimes of "developers/programmers" who talk to the same circle of people and think that such circle or club is representative of the millions and millions of people using Microsoft software.
There was objectively NO REASON to take away the simple "set aside table" button; yes, there is always space for improvement but to improve means - or should mean - making improvements for the users/consumer, not just for the techno-nerds. Another example could be "History"; before it was a simple matter of clicking on the icon [Star&bars] and select Favourite or History, now one has to open the menu] scroll and click History and then Manage History and instead of an easy to scroll list [old version] one is transferred to a new tab - nice, apparently it is a small change but in practice it is not so as the same could have been obtained by leaving the history menu where it was rather than - once again - having to learn the new procedure to get the result. Not a big deal but tell this to my mother, my wife and the other millions of users who use the browser. Changes are welcome but they should be aimed at simplifying procedures and I cannot see how these two examples are actually achieving a simplification of an old procedure. HotCakeX

No one said there is not going to be a set tabs aside button. it's simply not available yet.

HotCakeXI still prefer a button, preferably on the far left side of the taskbar that's easy to find and don't have to search for it in some sort of menu. Also, edge doesn't have very good touch (as in touchscreen) support for right clicking yet compared to other browsers, so a button is easier for tablet users.
