How to Restore Recently Closed Tabs in Edge
Are you ever frustrated by closing a tab in Microsoft Edge and then realizing you didn’t save the page? Fear not, as Edge has a built-in feature that allows you to restore recently closed tabs with ease. Whether you’re a seasoned Edge user or just starting out, this guide will walk you through the process of restoring closed tabs and getting back to your work in no time.
Step 1: Access the Hub
To begin, you’ll need to access the Edge Hub. There are a couple of ways to do this. First, you can click on the three horizontal dots in the upper-right corner of the Edge window. This will open a menu where you can select “Hub.” Alternatively, you can simply press “Ctrl + Shift + O” on your keyboard to directly open the Hub.
Step 2: Navigate to the “Tabs” Section
Once you’re in the Hub, you’ll see various sections like “Collections,” “Reading List,” and “Tabs.” Click on the “Tabs” section to view your open tabs. If you’ve closed a tab recently, it should still appear here, even if you’ve already closed the browser.
Step 3: Restore the Closed Tab
In the “Tabs” section, you’ll see a list of your recently closed tabs. Simply click on the one you want to restore. The tab will immediately open, and you can continue working from where you left off.
Step 4: Additional Options
If you want to see all of your recently closed tabs at once, you can click on the “Recently closed” button at the top of the “Tabs” section. This will display a list of all closed tabs, including those from other browsing sessions.
Step 5: Pin Tabs for Future Access
To make sure you don’t accidentally close a tab you’ll need later, you can pin it to the Hub. Right-click on the tab you want to pin, and select “Pin.” The tab will now have a pushpin icon next to it, indicating that it’s pinned. This way, you can quickly access it even if it’s not currently open.
Conclusion
Restoring recently closed tabs in Microsoft Edge is a simple and straightforward process. By following these steps, you can quickly get back to the content you were working on without having to search for it or restart the browser. Whether you’re a frequent tab-closer or just want to make sure you don’t lose important pages, this feature is a valuable addition to Edge’s functionality.
