How to Use Microsoft Edge ‘Collections’

Collections is a new Microsoft Edge feature that lets you save web pages for future reference and share them with your friends. This article explains how to use Microsoft Edge Collections.

Getting Started

Collections is enabled by default on Microsoft Edge. If this feature is available to you, the icon for Collections will be displayed next to the address bar.

From here, you can click and open all the pages that you have added to the Collection. Here are a few other things that you can do with your Edge Collections:

Sync across devices

Collections are now part of Edge’s Sync. Your Collections will now be available from all your signed-in devices. You can add a page to your Collection from a mobile phone and access it later from your laptop or desktop computer.

“Open All” into a separate window

You can open all the pages in a Collection into an Edge window. Click the three-dots menu on the top-right corner of a Collection and click “Open All” to do this.
