Discussion

This setting allows users to access the Collections feature, where they can collect, organize, share, and export content more efficiently and with Office integration. If this policy is enabled or not configured, users can access and use the Collections feature in Microsoft Edge. If this policy is disabled, users cannot access and use Collections in Microsoft Edge.

Check Content

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Enable the Collections feature" must be set to "Disabled".

Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

If the value for "EdgeCollectionsEnabled" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Set the policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Enable the Collections feature" to "Disabled".
