Workspaces finally launches its first public test for sharing groups of tab with some restrictions in place.
Several new features for Microsoft Edge are entering a public beta; all with the goal to improve user collaboration, transparency, and internet usability.
Originally announced back in October 2022, Workspaces let people share a group of browser tabs with others. The tool will live in a new button in the top left corner of the Edge browser. Clicking it lets you create a Workspace window (opens in new tab) with an original name and color theme. From there, you collect whatever tabs you want, then select Share Workspaces in said button where you are given a hyperlink to share. Those recipients can continue adding to the tab group if they want to grow it even further before sending it back to you.
Microsoft points out Workspaces is “not browser screen sharing, nor does it share browser data” with others in a group. “Confidential data like logins, cookies, [or] passwords” will be not shared either, according to the announcement.
