How to Add a site to your favorites in Microsoft Edge

Adding a website to your favorites in Microsoft Edge saves that page so you can easily find it again later.

Microsoft Edge Favorites are like digital bookmarks. They let you quickly jump back to websites you visit often, without having to type their address or search for them.

On recent versions of Microsoft Edge, like version 120 and newer, you’ll see a star icon right in the address bar.

Clicking this star lets you give the favorite a name and pick a folder to keep it in, like a “Work” or “Shopping” list, making organization simple.

Saving a Website You Visit Often

You can add a website you visit often to your favorites in Microsoft Edge by clicking the star icon right in the address bar. When you’re on the page you want to save, look for that little star next to the web address. Clicking it is the quickest way to save the site so you can find it again easily.

Here is how:

1. Open Microsoft Edge. Go to the webpage you want to save.
2. Look at the right side of the address bar. This is the long box at the top where the website address shows up. You should see a small star icon. This is the button to “Add this page to favorites.” Click it!
3. A small window will show up. Here you can change how your favorite is saved. You can give your favorite a new name. For example, instead of a long website name, you could type “My Favorite Food Place.”
4. You will also see an option to pick a “Folder” to save your favorite in. Edge usually suggests a “Favorites” folder. But you can make new folders or pick ones you already have to keep things organized. We will talk more about folders soon!
5. When you like the name and the folder, click the “Done” button.

Saving All Your Open Tabs at Once – For When You’re Doing Many Things

You can save all your open websites in Microsoft Edge at once. This feature helps you keep track of different tasks and the pages you’re using. To save all your current tabs, follow these steps:

Here is how to do it:

1. Make sure all the webpages you want to save are open in your Edge window.
2. Click the three horizontal dots in the top right corner of the Edge window. This opens the “Settings and more” menu.
3. Move your mouse over “Favorites.” A new menu will appear.
4. In that menu, you will see a few choices. To save all your current tabs, click on “Add open pages to favorites.”
5. Like before, a window will show up. You can give this group of favorites a name. For example, “Trip Planning Research” or “Work Project Notes.”
6. Choose a folder to save them in, or make a new one.
7. Click “Done.”
