- DeletedMar 30, 2020
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!

Personally, I LOVE this idea for Collections so much that I now use it every day and have been since HotCakeX first posted this Post. I think it is 10(TEN) times better than "Set Aside Tabs" ever was! Every morning I open 7 Tabs for 7 different websites that I work in. With Set Aside tabs I would have to hit the "button" to set those tabs aside again after working in those tabs each and every time or I'd have to open each tab separately fresh all over again. With the Collection feature they are Always there and no need to place them in a Collection after every time I worked on those sites.... Open Collections, Open that collection, click Open ALL and poof they are all opened in a new window. When done, just close that window/new opened browser instants and all is done. No need to resave or anything else. You can NOT get any simpler than this. And every time I open them they are right where I left off the last time in them.... It's not rocket science.....

Dennis5mileThat's a different usage scenario, because collections is (at its core) a different feature. What works perfectly for you might not be optimal for everyone. See, the way I use set aside tabs is basically for stuff I ran out of time to look over and/or address. So when I reload tabs, they get used once, and I close them. I don't need to manually go back in and delete them. Until they give me an option to make them volatile, they're barely better than bookmarks for me.
