How to Enable Microsoft Edge’s Super Drag and Drop Feature

Enable or disable the Super Drag Drop feature in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge Super Drag Drop lets you open links, text, or images in a new tab simply by dragging them across your screen. You can turn this feature on or off through the browser settings menu by opening Settings, selecting Appearance, and finding the option under the context menu 🖱️ and drag and drop settings.

Here’s how.

First, open the Microsoft Edge browser.

Then click on Setting and more (Alt+F) three dots (…) in the upper right-hand corner to access the Settings menu.

On the Settings page, click Appearance in the left panel.

On the right side, under 'Customize browser,' select the "Enable Super and Drop" tile.

Then, toggle the button to the On position to enable the new Super Drag and Drop feature in Microsoft Edge.

Toggle the switch button to the Off position to disable it.

Close Edge settings when you're done.

Microsoft Edge's Super Drag and Drop feature is not visible if it is not enabled. You can enable this feature to quickly drag and drop text or images between browser tabs.
