Is the Sync up?
Hi there everyone,
Sync was crashing for many users here. Any update from team on when Sync would be back to its functional state?
Thanks!

Good news! We are slowly rolling favorites sync out to users in Dev. Please sign out and sign back in to the browser and let us know if you see any changes. This is enabled again in Canary, so if you don't see it in Dev, give it a shot there.

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge- Hi, Thank you for the good news.
with the new roll-out, are the past issues fixed along with it?
Favorites duplication and old favorites reappearing after deleting, specially when multiple devices are syncing with the same Microsoft account. because according to this post they are planned to be fixed in December so i hope this is it

I would like to tell the team that the sync speed is very slow. I deleted my Mobile Favorites folder having over 200 favorites, but it has been hours & they haven't been cleared yet on my phone or other PCs.
Also, I noticed that the sync for Open Tabs is also not enabled now:
Any update on these issues?
- Same here, open tabs sync has been disabled since around 2 weeks ago
- Hi,
probably not in this year..
"Before we get on with the rest of the features and additions that are worth mentioning this week, you should know that favorites sync is still disabled for the majority of users. This includes brand new machines you install Edge on, so if you’re setting up Edge for the first time and want access to your favorites, you’ll need to manually export your favorites to a file on a different machine and import them on the new one. We’re also working on a deduplication mechanism once favorites sync is re-enabled, which should prevent new duplicates from coming in as well as remove duplicates for users who have already had their favorites duplicated. "

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Discussions/Top-feedback-summary-for-December-17/m-p/1070731Thanks for the info. I read it earlier...
Sync is needed very badly because I need to access my data from other PCs or phone...
- Beta should be still fine though..
in the knows issues in here:

they only mention Dev and Canary, not Beta. so i assume it is isolated from this problem
