Adding a site to your favorites in Microsoft Edge saves a web page so you can open it again with one click instead of typing the address. Favorites work like bookmarks. They store your most-used pages inside the browser.
You can add any page by clicking the star icon at the right end of the address bar. Edge saves the favorite immediately and lets you pick a folder to keep your list organized. If you are signed in to Edge with an account and sync is turned on, your favorites can follow you to other devices.
Edge calls bookmarks favorites, so click the star icon at the right end of the address bar while the page is open. Give it a short name, choose a folder, then click Done. For several open tabs at once, select Settings and more > Favorites Add open pages to favorites.
Saving a Website You Visit Often
These steps add a site to your favorites in Edge, saved under a short name in the folder you choose. Once saved, the page opens again with one click whenever you launch Edge.
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to the page you want to save. Wait until it has finished loading in the current tab, because the star saves whichever page is showing.
- Click the star icon at the right end of the address bar. The address bar is the long box at the top where the website address appears. The tooltip reads Add this page to favorites. A small window opens under the star, and the star changes to a filled star.
- Type a short name in the Name box. Edge fills in the page title, which can be long. Replace it with something you will recognize, for example “My Favorite Food Place.”
- Open the Folder list and choose where to save the page. Edge usually suggests the default Favorites folder (on some setups it is called “Favorites bar”). You can pick a folder you already have or create a new one. Folders are covered in more detail in the next section.
- Click Done. The window closes and the favorite is saved.
Saving All Your Open Tabs at Once – For When You’re Doing Many Things
Edge puts all of the saved pages into a single new folder, so they stay together and are easy to find later. These steps save all your open tabs as favorites in one go.
- Open every page you want to save in one Edge window. Close any tabs you don’t want in the group first, because Edge saves every tab in that window.
- Click the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner of the Edge window. This opens the “Settings and more” menu.
- Point to Favorites. The Favorites menu opens beside it.
- Click Add open pages to favorites. The path is Settings and more > Favorites Add open pages to favorites. In some Edge versions the wording is slightly different, such as “Add all tabs to favorites,” but it is the same option. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+D does the same thing.
- Type a name for the group in the window that appears. It looks like the one for a single page. Good examples are “Trip Planning Research” or “Work Project Notes.”
- Choose a folder to save the group in, or create a new one.
- Click Done. The tabs are now saved together as favorites.
To open them again, go to the Favorites menu and open the folder you saved them in. You can right-click the folder and choose to open all the pages in it at once.
