HotCakeX Thanks for getting the news out and kicking off this discussion. 🙂 I'm thrilled to let you all know ( PNvmkpk YgorCortes seancorfield SOI_7 ) that this feature has now been fully released to our Canary and Dev channels! Here's our official announcement from our https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-new page:

"Save multiple tabs to Collections

We have heard from feedback that you are using Collections to organize your web projects, and that there should be an easier way to save and open all tabs you're working with. That is why we're excited to announce that you can now quickly save all your tabs and reopen them using Collections. To save your tabs to a collection, simply right-click on a tab and select Add all tabs to a new collection. Tabs in your active window will be added to a new collection with the option to rename it. To reopen those tabs, right-click on the collection and select either to open the items in the current window, a new window, or an InPrivate window.

We would love for you to try this feature out and hope you send us feedback! You can send us feedback via the chat icon in the top right of the browser, or by reaching out to us on Twitter at @MSEdgeDev."

As always, we'd love to get your feedback about this feature. Enjoy!

Hi,
I cannot follow the link, neither I have the option "hello Group xx" or similar. I have only "add all tabs to Favourite" (obviously I have the usual choices as well, in the menu, when click on the star icon).
If the option of adding to groups where available, I think that would for me. What I need, due to the nature of my browsing for business, is the ability to save all the tabs I want in the simplest way possible, remain in the browser and open another number of tables (searches) and save them as well, and so on. So the idea of having groups that I can name is good for me; It will be good when and if will become available as, at the moment, I do not have it.
Thanks for your reply.

Hello group xx is the name I gave to it as an example, it's not a static thing.

another thing is that you have to be on Dev or Canary channels.

lastly, you need to enable Tab groups, then right-click on a tab and select add to group.

Go to: edge://flags/

search for "tab groups", enable it, restart Edge.

I really don't like how collections work compared to "set these tabs aside" it was was simpler to use that way and whatever you do you can save quickly.. Now if you close out of tabs you no longer need you have to save the collection again.

There will hopefully be a separate button added for it as many users asked for it too but to be honest it's very simple to right-click on a tab and select "add all tabs to collection". it's just 2 clicks.

  Yes, the "Add tabs to collection" function is super quick in the current state, but it's the resume that is a bit clunky. If I were the Edge team, I'd at least make the "Open all" button always visible in the Collections menu so that even the resume is a 2 clicks action

    SOI_7 xunderworldx Thanks for sharing that idea for Collections functionality. I chatted with the team, and they asked that you submit this through the in-browser feedback (if you haven't yet) so that they can keep track of it.
