Set Aside Tab Feature | Collection Added to Edge insider Dev and Canary
- Now you can Set your Tabs Aside Quickly and reopen them later.
- these tab groups Can get Synced with other devices that have Edge browser installed (Only desktops for now) so you can also resume your work from another computer.
- The tab groups that are set Aside are non-volatile, meaning they are not automatically deleted once you reopen them (unlike Edge legacy's behavior)
- you can give custom names to the tab groups you set Aside.
Here is a 1080p 60FPS video to show you how easily it's done:

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
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!

- Rohit YadavBronze ContributorThis is a CFR. Looks promising. Hope it makes way to other insiders soon.
- OmegaMalkiorBrass ContributorI'm currently interested in the set aside feature for tabs I want to keep active in the background but do not wish to clutter my tab view. Is there currently a way to keep them active like this? Thanks.
- Hi, you can put your tabs in a group and then move that group to another window then minimize that window, OR you can use Windows 10 multiple desktop feature to put them on another desktop which is a nice and easier to use feature
