Thanks for this awesome post on Top 7 features in Microsoft Edge.
If you blog about Edge in Education specifically, please feel free to use #EdgeEDU - that is our MicrosoftEdge in Education community hashtag.
I am sharing a few suggestions here with more tips, for the benefit of educators and students using Edge:
Profiles - to keep personal and school browsing data separate
💥💥HOT TIP💥💥: If you need to log in to more than one org's Teams or Office365 accounts, just create multiple work profiles, go to the O365 or Teams on Edge, install the site as an app and pin it to Taskbar. Now you can have for example, multiple Teams accounts signed in with different Microsoft tenants, at the same time!
Collections - you can drag-drop selected text or images from sites and export Collection to Word, which will auto-generate "References" section at the end of that document
💥💥DID YOU KNOW💥💥: You can now add webcapture with your annotations to your collection!
Office shortcut in New Tab page - the 9-dot waffle makes it easy to switch to other Office apps while signed into Edge
💥💥HOT TIP💥💥: You don't have the full Office desktop apps installed? No problem, just install go to Office apps on Edge and pin them as web apps. You will not miss the desktop apps.
Bing search for School - if the school has set this up in their tenant, then educators and students will see a separate "School" tab in Bing search results with info curated from their internal sharepoint sites (more info here - techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/edu...)
PDF support - educators and students can ink, highlight and annotate in PDFs with Microsoft Edge. They can also save that PDF with their annotations which is useful to turn in assignments via PDF or to evaluate answer scripts
💥💥DID YOU KNOW💥💥: Microsoft Edge Canary build now also has the ability to add text boxes into PDFs and type in your notes, instead of just inking with a pen or draw with your fingers.
Microsoft Defender's SmartScreen filter within Edge - check out this demo (demo.smartscreen.msft.net/) to understand how Edge with Smartscreen is the most secure browser against phishing and malware
Immersive Reader support for Wikipedia is now available
💥💥COOL TIP💥💥: If you do not see the Immersive Reader icon showing up in address bar for any website, but want to view that site in Immersive Reader, you don't have to worry. Just prefix "read://" to the site URL (e.g. read://https://) to open it in Immersive Reader view.
IE mode for legacy IE11 sites - no need to worry about browsing older sites that require IE11. With the new Edge, you can open those sites. So with one browser, you can open any sites that require IE11, or Legacy Edge, or just any site that works on modern browsers.
Last but not the least, here is another REALLY SUPERCOOL TIP - if you are using Edge Canary, you can actually hide the title bar when using Vertical Tabs. This gives us an almost full-screen view and a lot of real estate for your browser. Try it out!
