Smart Copy missing
Hello all, I'm on Edge Beta (93.0.961.11) and for the past few months Smart Copy has been missing. It was there at some point in time. In fact, on the What's New! page that comes up after Edge ...
Smart Copy seems to be on field trial stage, at least for me on beta/dev/canary channels.
In any channels(stable..canary), command-line option "--enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect" should enable the feature.
Hi johannal,
Thanks for your reply. I did include "Smart Copy" in the description when using Alt+Shift+I to send feedback as you described previously. I just sent it again this morning, please let me know if you get it.
In terms of checking edge://policy and searching for ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl:
On my instance of Edge there is no value set. This seems like it could the the culprit based on your answer above, which also sounds like it is not mandatory by my employer / device manager if it's not set, correct?
If this is the case, can you provide direction to change its value appropriately to "2" or "full"? Thanks again for your assistance.

Here's an update: I was able to use cmd to edit group policy as described here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#experimentationandconfigurationservicecontrol. I confirm that ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl which was not set is now set to "2". I ran cmd again to enable Smart Copy, but I still am not getting the option when using CTRL-SHFT-X.
I have re-sent you my diagnostic data.
