Inspirations, ideas, research—what if everything stayed perfectly organized? With Microsoft Edge Collections, your browsing becomes effortlessly tidy.

Between tabs open endlessly and forgotten favorites, keeping track of your searches on the web can quickly become a headache.

Whether you‘re preparing a project, exploring a topic, or collecting ideas, collections in Microsoft Edge let you centralize, organize, and find everything in the blink of an eye. Here‘s how to take advantage of this discreet but formidable tool.

To access it, click in the 3 dots at the top right. Then in the menu, click Collections.

If you don‘t see Collections in the menu, click More tools, and then click Collections.

Create a collection

In the Collections panel, click Create new collection.

Give it a name related to your subject (e.g.: “Decoration ideas“, “Japan trip“, “Marketing monitoring“).

Your collection is ready for content!

Add web pages and content

Open the page(s) you want to add to the collection and click the + for each page.
