Citation support added to Collections

Starting with Microsoft Edge version 95, the Collections experience has been improved, especially for students and researchers. Collections will begin to support citations and reading lists.

New Policy supports more flexibility during Microsoft Edge startup

Starting with Microsoft Edge version 94, business administrators will have more flexibility in the options they choose in their startup policy.

View video in Picture in Picture (PiP) mode from the toolbar

Starting with Edge 93, it's easier to enter Picture in Picture (PiP) mode. When hovering over a supported video, a toolbar will appear allowing you to view the video in the PiP window.

Highlight freely on PDF

Get back a few extra pixels by hiding the browser's title bar while in Vertical Tabs. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 93, you can go to edge://settings/appearance and in the Customize Toolbar section, select the option to hide the title bar when in Vertical Tab mode.

Automatic translation for unknown languages

Starting with Microsoft Edge version 94, when navigating to a page that is displayed in a language other than the one you have set up, Microsoft Edge will automatically translate the content of the page into your primary language.
