Saved tabs lost after upgrade to new Edge?
- DeletedMar 13, 2020
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!

Deleted 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.

Zac66789 Thanks for the feedback! If you have a chance, our Collections team would appreciate it if you could submit that suggestion through the browser (Shift+Alt+I) so that they can review it directly.

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.

MissFaye2U Our team has heard that users missed "Set aside tabs," so we implemented a feature in Collections that has a similar functionality: "Add all tabs to a new collection."
HotCakeX wrote a great post illustrating this feature, so feel free to check it out.
