Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a search, only to be called away before you could finish? It's a common experience, and it can be frustrating to lose track of all the tabs you had open. But what if there was a way to save the state of your Edge browser, so you could come back to it later without losing any progress?
In this article, we'll explore some of the ways you can save and restore the tabs in your Edge browser.
First, let's talk about the "Continue where you left off" option. This feature is available in the Start Up settings of Edge, and it's designed to automatically reopen all the tabs you had open the last time you closed your browser. This is a handy option if you're always working with the same set of tabs, but it doesn't help if you want to save a specific set of tabs and come back to them later.
Another option is to use the Favorites feature in Edge. You can save all your open tabs to a specific folder in Favorites by pressing Ctrl+Shift+D. This will create a folder with all the open tabs, which you can later open all at once by right-clicking on the folder and selecting "Open all". This is a good way to save a set of tabs that you know you'll want to come back to later.
There are also several extensions available that allow you to save specific tabs. One example is the "Tab Session Manager" extension, which lets you save and restore sessions of tabs with a single click. Another option is the "OneTab" extension, which allows you to collapse all your open tabs into a list, and then restore them one by one as needed.
Finally, it's worth noting that Edge has a new feature called "Tab Sweep". This allows you to save specific tabs for later use, by grouping them together and saving them to a separate area. However, this feature is only available in the current version of Edge, and hasn't yet been transferred to the new version.
In conclusion, there are several ways to save and restore tabs in Edge, depending on your specific needs. The "Continue where you left off" option is useful if you always work with the same set of tabs, but if you want to save a specific set of tabs and come back to them later, you can use Favorites or extensions. And if you're using the current version of Edge, you can take advantage of the new "Tab Sweep" feature to group and save specific tabs for later use.
