Can restrictions on the Open in Sidebar feature
I'd like to inquire about the "Open in Sidebar" feature that was introduced in Edge browser version 122, specifically regarding the policy named "EdgeOpenInSidebarEnabled". Is it possible to restrict...
Hi YamadaKsk
You can indeed create a configuration profile to disable the "Open in sidebar" feature in Edge. It, however, requires you to import the Microsoft Edge ADMX and ADML files in Intune:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download?form=MA13FJ
Download the policies from the Edge for Business website, and upload msedge.admx and msedge.adml to Intune
Once they are uploaded, you can create a new policy with "Windows 10 and later" as platform and "Templates" as profile type. Select "Imported Administrative Templates (Preview) and click Create.
In the configuration settings, you can search for "Enable open in sidebar". From here, you can configure it to be enabled or disabled. Apply the policy to a test group and sync the device.
Open Edge and paste edge://policy in the search bar of the browser, and you can now see the policy in place.
I hope this helps!

Thank you for your reply!
Thank you for the information that it can be done with ADMX files!
I'm trying various things, but for some reason, I'm getting an upload error now.
I will continue to try.
Thank you for the valuable information.

- Which error are you getting, when uploading the ADMX file? π

I'm getting error messages like this.
---
ADMX file referenced not found NamespaceMissing:Microsoft.Policies.Windows. Please upload it first.

The attached image is a Japanese screen, sorry.- Hi YamadaKsk,
This is because you would have to upload the Windows ADMX first.
You can find it on your own computer at this location:
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\Windows.admx
C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\Windows.adml
Once the Windows ADMX file is uploaded, you can upload the Edge ADMX file.
