How to enable IE Mode

Is there a way to enable IE mode for a site or subsite? 

  • Yes, it is possible to enable IE mode for a specific site or subsite in modern web browsers that support this feature. IE mode allows you to use Internet Explorer compatibility within a modern browser to ensure compatibility with legacy websites and applications. Here's how you can enable IE mode for a site or subsite
    Make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft Edge because IE mode is available in Microsoft Edge versions 87 and later.
    and Open the Edge Developer Tools Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" or press F12 to open the Edge Developer Tools.
    then Enable IE Mode: In the Developer Tools pane, locate the top-right corner where you'll find a "Toggle Device Toolbar" icon (it looks like a phone and tablet). Click on it to enable the device toolbar.
    Select "Internet Explorer" from the Emulation Menu: Once the device toolbar is enabled, you'll see an "Emulation" tab. Click on it, and in the "Browser profile" section, select "Internet Explorer" from the dropdown menu.
    Refresh the Page: After selecting "Internet Explorer" as the browser profile, refresh the page for the changes to take effect. The site or subsite will now be rendered using IE mode.
    Please note that enabling IE mode only affects the specific site or subsite you're currently on. It doesn't enable IE mode for all sites by default. You'll need to repeat these steps for other sites or subsites where you want to enable IE mode.

    HI Spawn10 To enable IE Mode in SharePoint: 1-Open Microsoft Edge browser. 2-Type "edge://flags" in the address bar and press Enter. 3-Search for "IE Mode" on the flags page. 4-Enable the "IE Mode" flag. 5-Restart the browser. Open SharePoint site in Edge, and it will automatically switch to IE Mode if compatibility is required. Regards Lalit Mohan
