I have saved numerous files in numerous collections list but only so many are listed; roughly around ten. Where are the other saved things which I saved in any one of my collections ?

Hi @ Reprobus R , In my test, I found that the video on the YouTube homepage cannot be added to Edge Collections. But the video content of other sections can be added. So, after studying the videos that cannot be added on the homepage, I found that when I turned off the "Video previews" option of the YouTube video, it can be added normally (as shown below). So, you can turn off this option and try adding video to collections again. If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and kindly upvote it.

Hi,

In the past month I added numerous sites and even YouTube videos to my collections but after refreshing the list; none of those are showing ?

Could they be stored in a database file but not visible in the collections list ? I tried adding a page today again to a collection, nothing was stored ?

Hi @Reprobus R,

Please make sure that the profile used when adding Collections content a month ago is the same profile as the one currently used. If it is not the same profile, it will of course not be refreshed and displayed.

The data in Collections is stored in the user's browser profile. Path: C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Collections

In addition, I just added YouTube related content on Edge Collections, and everything works fine on my device. So, can you please provide the specific page that cannot be added to Collections normally?

Are you saying that the collection stored in the users browser profile which is a SQLite file is different then that shown in the collections side window in edge ?

Also can you store a video based on the thumbnail in YouTube to a collection as this is the way I was doing it to store in a collection ?

Hi @Reprobus R,

The data of Collections is stored in the user's browser profile, and the data of this sql file corresponds to the data of Collections displayed in the Edge side window. Regarding adding YouTube videos to Collections through thumbnails, in the test of my device, if drag the thumbnail, can drag it several times to add it. Or can right-click and select "Add to Collections".

Hi @Reprobus R,

This sounds a bit strange. What is your Edge version number? You can try to create a new profile in Edge to see if it works normally. If it still doesn't work, you can also try to navigate to "Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features" select Microsoft Edge and choose Repair.

Best regards,

It works but only when I search for videos within Bing. If I go to YouTube and try to save a video by it's thumbnail to a collection it doesn't save ?

I'm using Edge Canary; 128.0.2708.0. Saving videos based on their thumbnails works; only, when I search for videos within Bing; not directly on YouTube ?
