Collections is one of the many unique features that Microsoft Edge offers. It lets you organize your ideas while you are browsing and is touted as one of the best capabilities of the web browser.
At least when it is working.
Microsoft has confirmed—through a post on Reddit, of all things—that there are reports of users encountering some challenges while using the service. Technical errors with the Collections feature on the Edge browser are preventing users from viewing their saved images and videos on other devices.
In fact, some folks have lodged complaints that they are unable to enable or disable the feature in their profile settings altogether. In certain cases, their changes do not appear on their other devices.
A signal that something sinister is at play here.
On the bright side, Microsoft has indicated that they are aware of the issue, and the Edge development team is currently working on a way to resolve it. Bug fixes are coming soon, likely with the next version of the browser, Edge 104, for desktop, which should be available early next month.
According to the Edge Community Manager, Redmond will also fix the broken Collection sync button in the next Android release.
Aside from quashing bugs like these, the Edge team is also busy adding new features to Collections. This feature recently added several new productivity-focused capabilities, such as collaborative editing, support for images and videos, and a feed with recommended content.
Or ads, depending on who you ask!
Here’s hoping that Microsoft nails this one, as well.
