Saved tabs lost after upgrade to new Edge?
I have upgraded my Edge and several sets of saved tabs (remember those 2 buttons in the top left corner in old Edge?) seems to be lost as I cant find any way to access them from the new Edge.
Any suggestions? can i recover them somehow? i really need them. I relied on them for very long time. is there a file which stores these collection?
Maxima . I just chatted with the team and have some good news! Those tabs should now be in your Favorites folder under "Tabs set aside," which you can search and manage by going to Ctrl + Shift + O, or edge://favorites, or by clicking the toolbar icon with a star and lines.
Hopefully that helps!

Hi Everyone, not sure if all the queries are related to the same topic as I experienced. After the upgrade I lost the saved "quick link Tabs" that appear "under" the top search field (the ones you don't need to go to Favorites to launch)
To restore these is very simple and easy to do
1. Click on the settings gear top right hand corner
2. You will see a "Quick Links" label
3. Change "Show Promoted Links" to ON (default is OFF)
4. Those quick launch links will reappear as they were before
- Hi,
they should be here in a folder: edge://favorites/
whenever I do the upgrade from Edge legacy to the new Edge, the tabs set aside go to a folder in favorites. Maxima . I just chatted with the team and have some good news!

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeDeleted Is there a better way to do this? I actually really liked the UI for saving and reloading racks of tabs and found it super easy to switch between activities. I've tried out the "collections" feature but it seems to require me to load a new tab for each page and then click each collection page, which is not much easier than just opening a new tab and typing in the page URL.
Zac66789 Reading the last message, I now realize one can add all tabs to a collection. As another pointed out, there is not history saved, but also this feature requires more steps and has more limited functionality. If I could make a suggestion, I would say merge the two ideas. Keep the "save it for later" feature, but allow groups of tabs to be labeled as well as the other functions collections has.
- Then where are the navigation history of each of those tabs? Are they gone? This is the reason I am not installing the new edge browser.
PNvmkpk Yeah, I now wish I hadn't downloaded the update; I really liked having the tabs set aside button conveniently on the toolbar as well as not having to actually close/save open tabs that are on the toolbar before turning off my computer, and having them available the next day.
Deleted yes i can see them. thank you very much!
Maxima . Fantastic! Yay, I'm so glad. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Maxima . Thanks for reaching out. We're sorry to hear that! We want to make sure we get you the right help, so to confirm, did you get the new MS Edge after a Windows system update, or did you find and download it independently? And when you say "saved tabs," do you mean tabs that were open but in the "set aside" feature?

Today I automatically (June 19 2020) received the new Edge browser, but have lost all the tabs and history. The favourite bar is as it looked a year ago and not the one I was using yesterday. Have seen previous posts but I do not have a old tabs folder in other favourites

Deleted - yes set aside. any way i can recover those?
I got edge by typing "download edge" in google and clicking first microsoft link which was https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge (I did install of new Edge on Windows server yesterday and was quite impressed with it so i upgraded my desktop today).. Nothing to do with Windows updates.
The machine in question is : Windows 10 Pro build 18362
