Microsoft announced today that the recently introduced Edge Workspaces feature, which allows users to share groups of tabs with friends and family, is now available as part of a limited public preview.
First revealed in an enterprise public preview at the company's October 2022 Ignite conference for developers and IT professionals, Microsoft Edge Workspaces is designed to provide groups of people with access to the same set of tabs after signing into their Microsoft account.
"Today, we are excited to announce that we're opening Edge Workspaces for a limited public preview. Edge Workspaces provides a great way for you to separate your browsing tasks into dedicated windows so you can stay focused and organized across tasks," the Microsoft Edge Team said.
Each of them will only be able to view content they are authorized to access, with access to Edge Workspaces requiring signing in with a Microsoft account.
Microsoft added that Edge Workspaces would not distribute confidential data, such as cookies or credentials, to other users with access to the workspace.
Microsoft also says the Edge Workspace feature will only be available on Windows and macOS, with the currently limited group of testers to expand during the next several months.
