A new feature in Microsoft Edge lets you safely and swiftly share a collection of tabs with others. Edge Workspaces is a feature that essentially mimics the open tabs in the session without allowing access to the workspace.
The company claims that the function intends to increase productivity and collaboration simultaneously. You can establish a single, shared view of your group’s documents and webpages in a separate browser window with real-time updates by utilizing the Edge Workspaces feature.
Technically, you will start a fresh browser instance without any of your own preferences. After that, you’ll make a link to that particular session that you can distribute to others. Anyone can share various websites and documents once the recipient (or recipients) click on the link.
Microsoft clarifies that this is not a screen-sharing tool and that participants are not sharing browser data. Only content that is available to them will be displayed to users. Additionally, the feature is only available if you are in into a Microsoft account. This implies that a user must enter their login information in order to access an email account, content, or, if they do not already have it, to seek access to a resource like a Microsoft 365 document.
You may start using Workspaces on Microsoft Edge by following the instructions in this article.
Share group of tabs with Workspaces on Edge
Follow these instructions to share browser tabs with others using Edge Workspace:
On Windows 11, open Microsoft Edge.
To register for the feature preview, visit this page.
From the upper-left corner, select the Edge Workspaces button.
To create a new button, click it.
Verify the workspace’s descriptive name.
Decide on a color for the office.
Press the “Done” button.
From the upper-right corner, select the Workspace button.
Select the button labeled “Share workspace.”
Click the “Copy” link.
To close (X), click the button.
Any tab you open after completing the instructions will be visible to anybody with access to the Edge Workspace. The function won’t, however, reveal browser or private account information, such as passwords, cookies, or login credentials. This implies that if you use this experience to open your Outlook account in a tab, the user will only see the Outlook.com website and won’t be signed in.
If you are accessing someone else’s session, click the Edge Workspace button and choose Leave workspace; if you are the session owner, click Delete workspace.
You can look for updates on Microsoft EdgeSettings>About Microsoft Edge if you are unable to see the functionality. Additionally, in order to view the preview, you must register using the link provided in Step 2.
It’s crucial to remember that the function is now only accessible as a restricted sample. You will receive five invites to share and invite others to join.
