Whether you are graduating or transferring schools, take your most valued web research, favorites, passwords and more from your school account to your personal account.
Move collections
Collections helps you keep track of your ideas on the web, whether you're shopping, planning a trip, collecting notes for research or lesson plans. Collections also syncs across your signed-in devices, so if you use Microsoft Edge on multiple devices, your collections will always be up to date on all of them. Let's learn to move collections from one account to another.
