Hi @逸飞 周 ,
The ID issue you've described has been reproduced, as I've tested on multiple devices and accounts. In short, it usually occurs if you have deleted previous favorites and then import/add new ones. Then, you'll have some ids skipped. Suppose you have deleted 5 previous favorites, and these 5 ids will no longer show up. The more you have deleted, the faster IDs will increase.
Workaround:
The workaround is quite simple and does not involve deleting any data.
- Go to your profile folder. If you're not sure about the folder, you can go to
edge://version/
and find it inProfile path
. - In the profile folder, open
Bookmarks
file with Notepad or any text editor. - You'll see your bookmarks/favorites with information attached, including ID. Modify any ID and save the file. For example, you can simply edit any ID not equal to 1 into
"id": "1"
. In my opinion, this triggers a "re-ordering" mechanism as there're 2 items with the same id "1". - Restart Edge (make sure there's no instance left). Then, you'll find IDs return to normal.
However, if you need to import/delete favorites again in the future, you may still encounter such issue. Besides the workaround above, I suggest sending feedback by pressing Alt+Shift+I
in Edge to the Dev Team, so that a relevant fix will be delivered in the future.
