Set Aside Tab Feature | Collection Added to Edge insider Dev and Canary
HotCakeX Thanks for getting the news out and kicking off this discussion. 🙂 I'm thrilled to let you all know ( PNvmkpk YgorCortes seancorfield SOI_7 ) that this feature has now been fully released to our Canary and Dev channels! Here's our official announcement from our https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new page:
"Save multiple tabs to Collections
HotCakeX
A bit clunky but better than nothing. I think the process should be automated somehow, a single click should do everything like in the old Edge
I totally agree. the single button to set aside all the open tabs was one of the best features in Edge. I browse a lot for business and setting aside all the tabs related to one search and starting a new session for another search and recall the previous search when needed was a matter of two clicks - simple. Now I have all the tabs set aside in months, grouped in "groups" with no names so I have to open each single group, give it a name in order to recognise what is inside the anonimous folder icon. Time consuming!! SOI_7

Groups can be given names in Edge:
you can activate it here: edge://flags/#tab-groups
also when you set all tabs aside in a Collection, it automatically gives them a name but you can change them if you want but it's not necessary.
- Hi,
I cannot follow the link, neither I have the option "hello Group xx" or similar. I have only "add all tabs to Favourite" (obviously I have the usual choices as well, in the menu, when click on the star icon).
If the option of adding to groups where available, I think that would for me. What I need, due to the nature of my browsing for business, is the ability to save all the tabs I want in the simplest way possible, remain in the browser and open another number of tables (searches) and save them as well, and so on. So the idea of having groups that I can name is good for me; It will be good when and if will become available as, at the moment, I do not have it.
Thanks for your reply.- Spoiler

Thanks for your reply.Hello group xx is the name I gave to it as an example, it's not a static thing.
another thing is that you have to be on Dev or Canary channels.
lastly, you need to enable Tab groups, then right-click on a tab and select add to group.
Go to: edge://flags/
search for "tab groups", enable it, restart Edge.
HotCakeX My tab groups are enabled, but haven't been working for at least a month and I forgot they were there. Weird.
- They are not automatic yet, they never were automatic on Edge, I don't think Edge team even decided to work on it yet, I think they only pushed whatever changes Chromium had for the flag to Edge..maybe waiting for vertical tabs to be created first
