Here is a 1080p 60FPS video to show you how easily it's done:

@HotCakeX This is good to see -- thank you! I don't have that feature available yet (although I'm on the latest Canary) but I'm looking forward to it rolling out. Seems like a good time to enable the Collections button on the toolbar again :)

@seancorfield @Rohit Yadav Thanks, yes I believe soon it will be rolled out to a bigger test group in Canary channel

@HotCakeX It still seems a bit too time consuming, like there should be a button next to the collections button to make life easier.

I was intentionally working x3 times slow in video for demonstration purposes ;)
they could add a separate button at the bottom of the Collections button, like that button appears when you hover over Collections button ( to save space ) and that button will add all open tabs to a Collection.
but you still need to right-click on each collection to open all of them. there are too many options to choose from.
"open all" , "open all in new window" , "open all in a new inPrivate window" , "delete collection" etc.

Looking good. Keen to give it a go. Having them as non-ephemeral will be great.
Having them as "continually updating" would be cool too. If you close or open a tab, it updates the "set aside group".
I like this idea and find it useful too, for example I load up my tab group and start browsing and opening/closing websites, next time that I want to close Edge I don't have to add them again to that same collection, because the tabs will automatically be saved in the collection that I opened first. of course no duplicates should be there..

@HotCakeX
A bit clunky but better than nothing. I think the process should be automated somehow, a single click should do everything like in the old Edge

I noticed the scope of this experiment is expanded now in Version 82.0.458.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit), you can update your browser and see if you have it now

@HotCakeX I seem to have it on all my machines now, on both Canary and Dev builds, and it's working well enough to satisfy me, as a replacement for Set Aside Tabs.
There are definitely some improvements possible -- adding it to the right-click menu on the non-tab area of the toolbar, for example, which already repeats add all tabs to favorites, even tho' the wording differs (why?); adding a shortcut key for it; showing tab information on hover for tabs in the collection (not just the collection name!); adding the time to the auto-generated name for the collection (since I'm going to be setting aside multiple tab sets during the day); adding a setting so the Collections pane is open on each new window created (and on a browser restart).
I haven't used Collections up until now because I just didn't find them useful but just adding this one feature (SAT) is likely to make them a core part of my browser workflow. I wouldn't have expected that.

Yes I also feel like it should be made easier to spot for people new to the browser, like a dedicated button and added to here as You said

@HotCakeX This is not a replacement for 'Set Tabs Aside' feature because you lost the navigation history of the tabs and cannot go back to the previous page. A favorites folder will do just the same.
