signing out fixes it but signing back in changes the option from 'add to collections' to 'add to favorites'
If you don't use Edge on any other computer or mobile device being signed in is probably not necessary, however, I do so staying logged out does not work for me. I have no idea how being logged out or in affects this property. Is anyone at Microsoft listening?
That was one of the best features from Edge. I always have a lot of tabs open and it’s so easy just to click add all tabs to the collection. You don’t even have to put a name on it. Are they bringing this back or is it just a glitch that you have to fix?
You have to log out of Edge and then the menu item will appear. You don't have to close the browser and reopen or do anything else. Sometimes when you log back in the menu will appear for a period of time but I have not analyzed how long.. Rather inconvenient I think.

Yep, typical... Have a leading unique feature and then break it through "enhancement," which invariably reduces functionality. Then, "get feedback" through telemetry that no one uses it. Then trash the whole thing.
It seems to me after looking at this that they are trying to make some useless form of social media, kind of like Pinterest - share and follow collections among people.
Who the h*** wants to share their browsing activity any more than it is already stolen behind the scenes, especially since things exist to do this kind of sharing already?
Once again we are forced to ask the question "do you even use your own products?" Get with it Microsoft.
