With Collections going away from Edge, will Microsoft be adding the ability to save tab groups to Favorites, like you (very usefully) could with Collections?

    Hi,

    The option to move your Collections to Favorites is temporary and mainly there to help users transition before the feature is removed in a future update. Tab Groups, on the other hand, isn’t going away anytime soon, so there likely won’t be a similarly convenient option like what Collections have right now.

    That said, you can still save your tab groups to Favorites pretty easily. Just open your tab groups from icon in the Favorites bar, right-click and select Open in new window. Then press Ctrl + Shift + D in that window to save all the tabs to your Favorites at once.

    The provided information does not indicate that Microsoft is adding a feature to save tab groups directly to Favorites in Microsoft Edge.

    For the current transition away from Collections, the documented options are:

    1. Move pages from Collections to Favorites
      • Existing Collections can be converted into folders under Favorites.
      • Only saved web pages (URLs) are moved; images, notes, and other non-page items are not included.
    2. Export Collections data (work/school accounts)
      • Users with work or school (Entra/AAD) accounts can export Collections data for backup or offline use.
    3. Use Bing Saves (personal Microsoft accounts)
      • Personal Microsoft Account (MSA) users can access existing Collections at https://bing.com/saves and can add to Bing Collections from Bing.

    The documentation also lists some features that are planned or not on the roadmap for Edge, but it does not mention any upcoming capability to save tab groups to Favorites.

    Currently, Favorites supports saving individual pages or all open pages, but not tab groups as a distinct, group-aware feature:

    • Add current page via the Add this page to favorites button in the address bar.
    • Add current page or all open pages via Settings and more > Favorites > More options and choosing Add this page to favorites or Add open pages to favorites.

    Based on the available information, saving tab groups to Favorites in the same way Collections worked is not documented as an existing or planned feature.
