How to Add a site to your favorites in Microsoft Edge

Adding a site to your favorites in Microsoft Edge saves a web page so you can find it again with one click instead of typing the address. Favorites act like digital bookmarks that store your top spots in the browser.

You can add any page to your list by clicking the star icon in the top right corner of the address bar. Edge saves your new favorite right away, and you can pick which folder to put it in so your list stays neat.

Saving a Website You Visit Often

Single pages join your collection through the address bar widget. Arrive at the target destination and look for that small star sitting near the URL. Selecting it creates a permanent shortcut for future sessions.

Confirm every webpage you want to keep is currently open in your browser window.

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

Active research sessions often involve dozens of open tabs worth preserving. Bulk archiving captures every running page simultaneously to protect your workflow. Capture all current tabs by working through the steps below:

Select the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner to open the “Settings and more” menu.

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."

Summary

Building a robust collection of saved pages in Microsoft Edge relies on the address bar star icon or bulk tab preservation through the main menu.
