For business owners and managers, enhancing productivity is an ongoing goal. Every tool and technique that streamlines tasks or improves communication can make a significant impact. While a web browser might typically be seen just as a portal to the internet, Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 offers a suite of features designed to boost your efficiency dramatically.
Let’s explore five standout features of Microsoft Edge that could revolutionize your workflow.
Multitasking is a critical skill for any business professional. Microsoft Edge’s split screen feature simplifies working with multiple web pages simultaneously. Whether you’re comparing data across sites, researching diverse topics, or monitoring various platforms, the split screen functionality allows you to view two pages side-by-side within the same tab. This capability means less clutter and more productivity, as it feels like having dual monitors within a single browser window.
If your browser often becomes a mess of too many tabs, Microsoft Edge has a neat solution. Vertical tabs reposition your tabs to the side of your browser window, making it easier to see and switch between them without losing track. This setup not only saves space but also enhances your control, allowing you to quickly mute or close unnecessary tabs.
Collaboration drives business success, and Microsoft Edge’s Workspaces feature is designed to foster seamless teamwork. You can create a workspace containing a group of tabs related to a specific project and share this setup with colleagues or clients through a simple link. They’ll be able to access all the relevant tabs in one click, streamlining project management, brainstorming sessions, or presentations.
Research is a common task that can often become overwhelming. Microsoft Edge’s Collections feature helps you keep all your findings organized. Easily save and categorize text, images, and videos from different web pages into custom collections. This tool keeps your research tidy and accessible, allowing you to maintain focus and boost productivity.
When you need to concentrate on reading online articles or documents, on-page distractions can be frustrating. The Immersive Reader in Microsoft Edge strips away ads, sidebars, and other extraneous elements, offering a clean, distraction-free environment. Customize the display to your liking with adjustable text size, spacing, and background color, and use the read-aloud feature if you prefer listening over reading.
If your business hasn’t yet leveraged Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, considering these productivity-enhancing features might prompt a change.
