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 What's New page:

"Save multiple tabs to Collections

We have heard from feedback that you are using Collections to organize your web projects, and that there should be an easier way to save and open all tabs you're working with. That is why we're excited to announce that you can now quickly save all your tabs and reopen them using Collections. To save your tabs to a collection, simply right-click on a tab and select Add all tabs to a new collection. Tabs in your active window will be added to a new collection with the option to rename it. To reopen those tabs, right-click on the collection and select either to open the items in the current window, a new window, or an InPrivate window.

We would love for you to try this feature out and hope you send us feedback! You can send us feedback via the chat icon in the top right of the browser, or by reaching out to us on Twitter at @MSEdgeDev."

As always, we'd love to get your feedback about this feature. Enjoy!

HotCakeX This is not a replacement for 'Set Tabs Aside' feature because you lost the navigation history of the tabs and cannot go back to the previous page. A favorites folder will do just the same.

Agreed. Needs a single button for set-aside, needs to have an option for volatile, and needs to retain nav history (not quite as important for me but still nice). Until then, it's just a stopgap.

Alexvrb It also needs to open faster. I know this isn't going to be as easy as in the old edge, because it was using windows processes to boost performance and keep everything at 60fps, like opening STA and scrolling. Regardless, it should open faster, maybe by lessening the data stored in collections.
