Share Button added to the Toolbar!
Yeah it's great, I wish now that the Share button can be pinned in the toolbar, we could remove it from the ellipsis menu, doesn't need to be on 2 locations at the same time
HotCakeX Really? Can't say I'd agree. Is there some issue with a button existing on a toolbar and a menu? I think that's quite often the case. Would you also want the Favorites, Collections and Feedback items removed from the menu?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you?

No you understood me correctly, I think a better design would be to only have a specific option/button only in one place at a time.
there is no reason to duplicate them, it will help keep the UI clean and more space for other things.
so like when you have Collections on the toolbar, it will be removed from the ellipsis menu, when you remove it from toolbar, it will come back to the ellipsis menu again. like that.
If duplication is the intention then make it consistent, duplicate Everything in the Edge UI.
right? so either all in or all out. not like how it is now which is inconsistent and redundant.

Which toolbar and menu items are you finding are you currently finding inconsistent and redundant?
So the red marks are currently redundant items, duplicates.
the green marks are potential redundant items, since lots of users asked they want to see Downloads and History buttons on the toolbar, like Edge classic, Microsoft will most likely implement it some times in the future, they will create more redundant items in the Edge UI.
more options are on the way, Cortana integration for example. I think they should get rid of the duplicates, make them only be in one place in the UI and keep things simple and clutter-free.
when something is visible on the toolbar, by user's choice, then it doesn't make sense to have the same thing in the ellipsis menu.
Edge UI should be smarter and more responsive than that.
