Details:

Microsoft Edge for Business, the new, dedicated work experience, is now available in Microsoft Edge stable version 116. All users who sign in to Edge using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) will automatically be transitioned to Microsoft Edge for Business as part of the release.


Microsoft Edge for Business on desktop and mobile aims to address the needs of both end users and IT pros. It is designed to meet the needs of the evolving security landscape while empowering users to be more productive by enhancing focus. In addition to native enterprise controls that you're already familiar with in Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Edge for Business includes new visual elements. It features an adjusted icon and optional automatic switching between a personal browser window (activated by Microsoft account \[MSA\] login) and a work browser window (activated by Entra ID login).


Policies, settings, and configurations previously set by an organization and its Entra ID connected users will be maintained in the transition to Edge for Business. Additionally, passwords, favorites, and data currently associated with the user’s work profile will be transferred to Edge for Business. There is no impact to users' default browser settings. There are no functional changes to the Entra ID profile.


This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 144362.
