Microsoft Edge: manage favorites - how it works
With Windows 10, the Microsoft Edge browser replaced Internet Explorer. Here's how to manage your favorites with Edge.
Manage Microsoft Edge: Save websites as favorites
Save frequently visited or important websites in Microsoft Edge (as in other browsers as well) as favorites or bookmarks.
- To do this, click on the star-shaped symbol in the address line of the browser.
- Enter a name in the "Name" field or leave the suggested entry.
- Favorites are organized in folders. Select a suitable folder under "Save in", if available. By default, there is a "Favorites" folder, in which all bookmarks are collected unsorted.
- Complete the process by clicking on "Add".
Microsoft Edge: organize and sort favorites
If you collect all of your favorite pages in the favorites folder, you will quickly lose track. Here you create structure by creating thematic folders and storing the favorites in them.
- To do this, open the hub and, if necessary, switch to the favorites area by clicking on the star.
- Then click with the right mouse button on a free space in the browser and select "Create new folder". Enter a name and press the Enter key.
- After you have created one or more folders, sort the favorites accordingly. To do this, click on an entry and drag it with the left mouse button pressed into the desired folder. Repeat this until all bookmarks have been sorted.
- Finally, you can sort your favorites alphabetically. To do this, open the context menu of a folder with a right click. Then click on "Sort by name".
Delete bookmarks from Microsoft Edge
From time to time, you should sort out your favorite collection so as not to lose track. You can easily remove entries that are no longer required or invalid links in Microsoft Edge:
- To delete a favorite, right-click on the unwanted entry in the favorites management. Then remove it by "delete".
- If you find that a bookmark is no longer working while surfing the Internet, you can delete it directly. To do this, click on the star in the address line when the corresponding saved page is open, as when creating it, and select the "Delete" option.
