new to edge workspace. previously whenever i shut down or restart the PC, upon restarting and clicking edge, the tabs that were open will be restored. however not edge workspace.

1)I tried https://winaero.com/how-to-enable-workspaces-in-microsoft-edge/ doesn't work as well. speaking of which, i followed and did "Add --enable-features=msWorkspaces after the msedge.exe portion in the Target box." but it doesn't do anything. in fact any restart i lose all my opened tabs(I have set open tabs from previous session). deleting the line i added doesn't help.

  1. i see it in favourites, but clicking on it does nothing

  1. its greyed out

    Hi @Daniel_tan,

    Thanks for your interest in Edge Workspaces! Could you please try the following?

    1. Remove the "--enable-features=msWorkspaces" option from the Target portion of the Edge shortcut. If you uninstalled Edge (and ensured that the shortcut was removed), reinstalling should not have added that option back to the Target. But it's easier to just check it before proceeding with the following.

    a. This is mainly to ensure Edge is at a clean starting point - I'm not sure if that flag has any effect on the following.

    1. Ensure you are signed in to Edge with your Microsoft account. At this point, ideally, you should not be seeing the Workspaces icon on the top left corner of the Edge window
    2. Try out the steps in "How you get access to the public preview" section in the article that ¡Firedog linked earlier (Microsoft Edge Workspaces public preview - Microsoft Edge Blog).

    a. This should get you onboarded into the Workspaces preview program.

    b. If onboarding is successful, you'll see a welcome page with a "Get started" button. If unsuccessful, hopefully the page displays some error message indicating the problem.

    1. Once successfully onboarded, you should be able to start creating new workspaces, invite others to your workspaces etc

    a. NOTE: I'm not sure what the "opened trello cards" entry in the Favourites view is. My suggestion would be to just delete it from your favourites list, to keep your workspaces list clean.

    Let us know if you run into any issues with the above steps!
