To bookmark a page in Microsoft Edge, press Ctrl + D (or Command + D on a Mac), or select the star icon at the right end of the address bar. Edge calls bookmarks favorites. A small panel opens where you can rename the favorite and choose a folder, and then you select Done.
Your favorites show up in the Favorites menu and, if you save them to the Favorites bar folder, on the bar under the address bar. If you sign in to Edge with sync turned on, they also appear on your other devices.
Quick Answer
Open the page, press Ctrl + D, choose a folder, and select Done.
Bookmark a Page on a Computer
- Open Microsoft Edge and go to the page you want to save.
- Select the star icon (Add this page to favorites) in the address bar, or press Ctrl + D.
- In the Favorite added panel, edit the Name if you want a shorter label.
- Pick a Folder. Choose Favorites bar to put it on the bar, or Other favorites to keep it in the menu.
- Select Done. The star turns solid blue to show the page is saved.
Bookmark All Open Tabs at Once
- Right-click any tab.
- Select Add all tabs to favorites.
- Name the new folder and select Save.
Bookmark a Page in Edge on iPhone or Android
- Open the page in the Edge app.
- Tap the menu button (three lines or three dots) at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Add to favorites. Some versions show a star icon instead.
Find and Open Your Favorites
- Press Ctrl + Shift + O to open the Favorites panel, or select the Favorites icon (a star with lines) in the toolbar.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + B to show or hide the Favorites bar. Our guide to showing the Favorites bar in Edge covers the other display options.
- Type part of a favorite’s name in the address bar. Edge suggests matching favorites as you type.
Organize Favorites
| Task | How to do it |
|---|---|
| Rename or change the URL | Right-click the favorite and choose Edit. |
| Make a folder | In the Favorites panel, select Add folder. |
| Move a favorite | Drag it to another folder in the Favorites panel. |
| Delete a favorite | Right-click it and choose Delete, or select the solid star on the page and choose Remove. |
| Import from another browser | Favorites panel > More options (three dots) > Import favorites. |
Troubleshooting
- The star icon is missing: Make the window wider, since Edge hides some icons in narrow windows. Ctrl + D still works either way.
- Favorites don’t show on another device: Go to Settings > Profiles > Sync and make sure sync and Favorites are on, on both devices.
- Favorites disappeared: Check that you’re signed in to the same profile. Each Edge profile keeps its own favorites.
Want one-click access from the taskbar instead? You can also pin a website to the taskbar in Windows 11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between bookmarks and favorites?
Nothing. Edge uses the word “favorites” for what other browsers call bookmarks.

Summary
- Press Ctrl + D or select the star in the address bar.
