pbilk Elliot Kirk, there is no way that Collections can replace the ease and functionality of Set Aside Tabs. They're two different things that serve two different purposes, as far as I can see. Would it be possible to modify Collections so that it serves two purposes? Possibly; I don't really know. But, Set Aside Tabs was something that Microsoft already has developed and implemented.

it is possible, collections just take more than mouse clicks and also Microsoft would need to add an option to add all open tabs to a collection.
- Dan_AI4GKJan 29, 2020Iron ContributorYou sort of made my point. There are many ways to accomplish the purpose, but none is as convenient as Set Aside Tabs. I've set up a second profile, not attached to an account, that contains the tabs I want. It works, but not as well as Set Aside Tabs. I also set up a Favorites folder, but it doesn't work as well as Set Aside Tabs. When I said, "there is no way that Collections can replace the ease and functionality of Set Aside Tabs," that's what I meant. So, you sort of made my point.
