This tutorial will show you how to organize favorites by moving favorite(s) and folder(s) into a different folder in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
You can keep track of the websites you visit frequently by adding them as favorites in Microsoft Edge. You can organize these favorites into folders how you like.
Occasionally, you may want or need to move folder(s) and/or favorite(s) into a different folder to update how they are organized.
If you are signed in to Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account and move favorites, then any moved favorites will automatically sync and get moved on all devices you sign in to Microsoft Edge with the same Microsoft account with sync favorites turned on.
