Save websites, pictures, text, and more with Collections

Completed

Research content comes in different forms: websites, pictures, and text. Collections are a built-in tool that helps you to research, capture, and organize this information right in the Edge browser. 

Having all your research in one place without leaving the browser ensures that you stay focused, organized, and engaged. A learner researching a topic may want to group a set of content based on the project they are working on, or an educator can use Collections to track suggested readings, resources, and text for a unit or assignment. Use Collections to create a topic and add images, links, videos, and text in your browser home page. You can also export everything in your Collection to other apps, such as OneNote, Excel, Word, and more.

This video discusses how to create Collections in Microsoft Edge:

Create a new Collection by selecting Start new Collection and give it a name.

Selecting the ellipsis (...) button brings up options to send the Collection to Excel, OneNote, Word, or Pinterest. The ability to share Collections in different formats makes Edge great for sharing content with learners and colleagues.

• To add a webpage, select Add current page. The title and link to the page will appear in the Collection. This is helpful when there’s a lot of important information on a webpage.
• To save a selected picture from a webpage, drag the image to the Collection. The image and the link to the source will appear in the Collection.
• Add text from any webpage to the Collection by highlighting and dragging it to the Collection.
• Rearrange the contents of a Collection by selecting the ellipsis button or dragging a card to the desired location.

Collections are accessible from both the desktop and mobile app, allowing users to access their research from anywhere!
