MS Edge Workspaces Favorites Bar is not showing Favorites for individual workspaces

Question

I've got workspaces set up for different projects as well as personal use in Microsoft Edge. On each workspace there was an individual favorites bar at the top. This has been working fine until yesterday. Now there is only a generic favorites bar. Now when I add something to the favorites bar it appears the same across all workspaces. I can still see the bookmarks for the workspace favourite bar now as a drop down menu on the side. None of the right click options make this visible. When I create a new workspace it has the same universal bar. Does anyone know how to fix this so I have a different favorites bar on each workspace? Using on Windows 11 - MS Edge Version 127.0.2651.105 (Official build) (64-bit)

I installed the latest Dev Build and I can see the favorites bar working correctly on the Dev Build the first time it opens (this is the same with Canary). I logged out of the standard MS Edge and closed it. Then I tried doing a reset of the server data from the Dev Build given it was showing correctly. However, as soon as I closed the Dev Build and reopened it, it exhibited this same behaviour as the problem described above - a universal favorites bar rather than a workspace specific one.

I then logged in again on the normal build. It didn't change things once I ran the sync. I've also tried repairing the normal build and so I'm stuck. Please help!

Hi @SimplifiedLife,

I read your reply and thank you for your reply. This feature has been changed due to a recent update. Workspaces now display a user's full set of favorites in the Favorites Bar, with a dedicated workspace folder accessible from the bar. For more detailed information, you can refer to the link. You can also refer to the following image.

Since this is a new feature, it cannot be disabled. You can refer to the link to submit the workspace feedback. Thank you for your understanding.
