Policy
Set new tab page quick links
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
By default, Microsoft Edge displays quick links on the new tab page from user-added shortcuts and top sites based on browsing history. With this policy, you can configure up to three quick link tiles on the new tab page, expressed as a JSON object: [ { "url": "https://www.contoso.com", "title": "Contoso Portal", "pinned": true/false }, ... ] The 'url' field is required; 'title' and 'pinned' are optional. If 'title' isn't provided, the URL is used as the default title. If 'pinned' isn't provided, the default value is false. Microsoft Edge presents these tiles in the order listed, from left to right, with all pinned tiles displayed ahead of nonpinned tiles. If you set this policy as mandatory, the 'pinned' field is ignored and all tiles are pinned. The tiles can't be deleted by the user and always appear at the front of the quick links list. If you set this policy as recommended, pinned tiles remain in the list but the user has the ability to edit and delete them. Quick link tiles that aren't pinned behave like default top sites and are pushed off the list if other websites are visited more frequently. When applying nonpinned links via this policy to an existing browser profile, the links don't appear at all, depending on how they rank compared to the user's browsing history. Example value: [ { "pinned": true, "title": "Contoso Portal", "url": "https://contoso.com" }, { "title": "Fabrikam", "url": "https://fabrikam.com" } ]
