The Collections feature that is already present in Microsoft Edge on Windows, is now available on Android (currently rolling out) as well and allows you to create, access, and sync your Collections across your devices.
The Collections feature launched in Microsoft Edge by Microsoft can be used as a research tool. You can gather links, images, and information from websites and form a group. The feature initially introduced in Edge Insider channels as an experiment behind a flag.
Collections is being constantly improved by the Microsoft Edge team. The stable version released yesterday added some improvements to the feature and Edge Canary has integrated Pinterest Support. Currently, users allowed to export Collections in Edge to Word, Excel, Pinterest, with Send to Microsoft OneNote support coming soon.
Back in March, Microsoft confirmed Collections will come to mobile in Spring later this year. The feature is now rolling out via server-side to Edge on Android and you need to be on version 45.04.24.4994 to see it.
